The story starts when twelve-year-old Futaba Kudo is [[TrappedInAnotherWorld transported to another world]] by Kiara the Amaranthine, a "flower from the Beyond" that wields supreme magic power, when she [[MistakenIdentity mistakes him]] for her master. Because she cannot perform magic without him, Futaba promises that he will help her to find her true master, and in return she will use his power to send him home.

* FamilyOfChoice: (The younger) Virid quickly decides that he wants Futaba to be his older brother (despite Virid actually being older than the other boy), as a parallel to how poor Virid's relationship is with his ''actual'' older brother.



* {{Irony}}:
** The 'mad' Virid [[SanityStrengthening quickly becomes relatively normal]] after befriending Futaba and develops into something akin to a CheerfulChild. Conversely, the 'sane' prince goes from being a supposed NiceGuy [[SanitySlippage who becomes just as bad]] as his brother was at first.
** See HardWorkHardlyWorks. In Dyu's quest to obtain easy power, he... ended up working much harder than he would've if he hadn't considered summoning an Amaranthine.



* {{Manchild}}: Seren, exemplified best when it's stated that playing in the rain is what children do... and then we have Seren, the one adult doing just that.

to:

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Why Virid's so loyal to Futaba.Futaba and, for different reasons, why Shen'na's dedicated to helping Seren.



* BlessedWithSuck: Being a WingedHumanoid, as it means having a short lifespan. As Shen'na notes, the only times where he's grateful that he can fly is when he's falling from high places.



* CastFromHitPoints: Being the master of an 'Elturi' involves this, and when the flower dies, so does the master.



* ChekhovsGunman: That assassin that Virid spared? [[spoiler:He comes back towards the end, and this time finishes the job.]]



* FantasticRacism: According to Belbel, the bird people are occasionally hunted down and/or captured, leading them to mostly live away from others. Furthermore, Seren was apparently the only one who didn't treat Shen'na differently after the latter was revealed to be a WingedHumanoid.



* LastRequest: [[spoiler:On his deathbed, the older Virid asks Asch to tell his mother that he's sorry, and wishes for the Amaranthine to save his brother. The latter request and the younger Virid's wish may have come true, in the end--it's implied that the younger Virid was reincarnated into an infant in Futaba's world.]]

* AbusiveParents: The Virids' parents show no love for their sons as actual beings and only care about who's going to inherit the throne, without any remorse over the fact that one of them has to die for it. Virid the Sane Prince himself is confused over his mother's occasional display of affection for this reason, as he doubts her sincerity.
* TheAce: Shen'na describes Seren as this.
-->'''Shen'na:''' "He's popular with both guys and girls... A handsome chap with brains ''and'' brawn. Frankly, he's so perfect he gets on my nerves."



* AmbiguousEnding: Due to Futaba returning to his own world first, it's unclear exactly what happened to Aureole after Seren's wish was granted.



* TheAntiNihilist: Shen'na knows that he's doomed to a short life, but rather than angst over or delay his upcoming death, he hopes to make the most out of it while he can--namely, by being of use to his best friend, Seren.
* BadLiar: Kiara, when attempting to claim that something isn't on her mind (namely, [[spoiler:Kyana's upcoming death]]).

* BewareTheNiceOnes[=/=]BitchInSheepsClothing: It's not clear if (the sane) Virid, who's known for his kindness, was merely putting up a facade or if present events just brought forth a new side of him, but he's definitely capable of being much nastier than his reputation would suggest.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Both Virids die, Shen'na will die sooner or later as well because of his race, Seren may have to become a 'god' despite his wish to live a simple life--and that's assuming the entire world doesn't just ''disappear'' once they have the original 'god' die, ultimately leaving everyone's fate ambiguous. Either way, Futaba has to return to his world, thus parting ways with Kiara and co., and in the end, he only has faint memories of his adventures. On the other hand, it's implied that (the mad) Virid was reincarnated into a child there, and Futaba has come out of his experiences stronger and more mature than before.]]

* AFriendInNeed: Shen'na's determined to help Seren, no matter what.
* HalfHumanHybrids: Notably, fish and bird ones.

* {{Manchild}}: Seren, exemplified best when it's stated that playing in the rain is what children do... and then we have Seren, the one adult doing just that.



* NiceGuy:

** Virid's wish. [[spoiler:(The mad) Virid simply wants to go to Futaba's world and live with him--a wish that may be possible using the power of the Amaranthine. Later on, he amends his wish to include his brother as well, thus allowing them both to live the peaceful lives they've been denied. And then they die.]]
