As a fully original work conceived by Sunrise, Cross Ange offers a unique world-building experience that fans of mecha and dark fantasy will find impossible to put down.

The Misurugi Empire is a world where the ability to wield magic determines one's place in society. Those born without it are stripped of their humanity and cast aside. Angelise Ikaruga Misurugi has lived her entire life as a beloved princess, sheltered within the empire's grandeur—until a sudden and devastating revelation shatters everything she has ever believed. Branded as one of the powerless and condemned by the very society she once represented, she is forced into a life she never could have imagined. Now going by Ange, she finds herself thrust into the front lines as a slave-soldier, piloting powerful mechanical weapons against fearsome dragon-like creatures that threaten the world. Stripped of her title, her past, and her innocence, Ange must navigate a brutal new reality far removed from palace halls—and somewhere within that struggle, a new identity begins to take shape.
