World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman

Moroha Haimura transfers into a secluded academy where students carry memories from previous lives and train to fight supernatural threats. The school divides its fighters into Saviors, who channel Puraana energy into swords and techniques, and Kuroma, who wield Maana-based magic that bends physics. Moroha stands out because he remembers lives as both a Shirogane swordsman and a Kuroma magic user, which makes him unusual and mistrusted by some classmates. The series follows his attempts to fit into school life, handle combat training, and manage fraught relationships with other students as rivalries and alliances form around his rare dual heritage. Tone mixes action, school drama, and romantic tension without spoiling individual outcomes.

Released in 2015, the anime is based on the light novel series by Akamitsu Awamura, with Hiroshi Yamaguchi credited as a creator. It aired as a TV adaptation that brought the novel's premise and characters to animation fans.

The show did not earn major industry awards, and it wasn't highlighted in big seasonal prize lists. Still, it registered on viewers' radars enough to maintain a presence in streaming catalogs and retail for home video, without significant formal recognition from award bodies.

Among fans of light novel adaptations it built a small but steady following, especially for its character designs and for pairing high school romance with reincarnation mechanics. Online communities picked up on the series' power system and the unusual idea of one protagonist carrying two combat legacies, which inspired fan art and discussion threads on forums and social media.

Critical and fan reception was mixed, reflected in a modest average score of 5.7 out of 10 from a small sample of votes. Reviewers and viewers often praised the concept and some action sequences, while pointing out inconsistent pacing and frequent fanservice. The show deals with identity, memory, responsibility, and how past lives shape present relationships, wrapped in a school-based action framework.
