STRAIT JACKET
-
Author: Ichiro Sakaki
Publisher: Fujimi Shobo (affiliation confirmed)
Genre: Alternate History, Supernatural
Status: COMPLETE (11main+3extras)Story of a wayward man bearing a magic empowered exo-armor given to him by his mentor, in a world where magic is as ubiquitous and common as the air they breathe. But with such power comes great risk, the Malediction runs through every corner of society, finding a way to turn the sorcery users into malicious demons in but a moment of weakness(normally due to the user having insufficient curse absorbtion cartridges that negate the Malediction.) This is why the Strait Jackets exist, Tactical Sorcerists who serve as an executioner's blade to protect the innocent should a magic spell cause its user to become a demon, preferably before casualties stack.
Of course, to do this work, you must be a licensed Tactical Sorcerist, but not Leot Steinberg, that's just not his thing. They only call upon his service when conventional combat proves ineffective or when other Strait Jackets just can't be there. Is the cost of his forbidden codex of spells worth the price of protecting the city? Well, if Leot feels like it, and the pay is good, he might not say no.
