Shakugan no Shana (灼眼のシャナ, lit. Burning-Eyed Shana), also known simply as Shana, is a Japanese light novel series written by Yashichiro Takahashi, with illustrations by Noizi Ito. ASCII Media Works published 25 novels from November 2002 to October 2011 under their Dengeki Bunko imprint. The story focuses on Yuji Sakai, a high school boy who inadvertently becomes involved in an age-old conflict between forces of balance and imbalance in existence. In the process, he befriends a fighter for the balancing force and names her "Shana". The series incorporates fantasy and slice of life elements into its tale.
Two manga adaptations were produced and published by ASCII Media Works: one serialized in Dengeki Daioh between the April 2005 and October 2011 issues, and the other in Dengeki Maoh starting in September 2007. A 24-episode anime series adapted by J.C.Staff aired between October 2005 and March 2006. An original video animation (OVA) episode and animated film were also produced in December 2006 and April 2007, respectively. A second 24-episode anime series titled Shakugan no Shana Second aired between October 2007 and March 2008. A four-episode OVA series entitled Shakugan no Shana S was released between October 2009 and September 2010. A third anime series, Shakugan no Shana Final, aired between October 2011 and March 2012. A PlayStation 2 video game was released in March 2006, and it was ported to the Nintendo DS in March 2007.
Viz Media licensed the novels and the first manga series for release in North America, but stopped publishing both prematurely. Additionally, Geneon licensed the first anime TV series in North America, but after Geneon withdrew from the North American market, Funimation took up the distribution rights for the first season, and later licensed the second and third seasons, the film, and the OVA series.
Plot and characters
Shakugan no Shana details an age-old conflict between those who inhabit the Crimson Realm (紅世, Guze), a parallel universe to the human world. The Crimson Realm is populated by Crimson Denizens (紅世の徒, Guze no Tomogara) who are able to manipulate Power of Existence (存在の力, Sonzai no Chikara), a fundamental power within any biological entity and functions as "fuel" for one's existence. Denizens whose power stands out among their peers are known as Lords of the Crimson Realm (紅世の王, Guze no Ō), and Lords that are even more powerful are known as Gods (神, Kami). Denizens who do not care about the balance between the Crimson Realm and the human world collect Power of Existence from humans to use for their own purposes. Some Lords contract with humans to become a Flame Haze (フレイムヘイズ, Fureimu Heizu), whose duty is to maintain the two world's balance by destroying any Denizens disrupting it. Denizens and Flame Haze fight with the use of powerful magic spells called Powers of Unrestraint (自在法, Jizaihō), also known as Unrestricted Spells or Unrestricted Methods. One such spell is the Seal (封絶, Fūzetsu), which creates a space where the Crimson Realm and the human world intermingle and time stops.
The story largely takes place in Misaki City in Japan and begins when high school student Yuji Sakai is thrown into the middle of this conflict and encounters a Flame Haze girl with flaming red eyes and hair dressed in all black wielding a katana. The girl informs him that the real Yuji died some time ago, and that he is a Torch (トーチ, Tōchi), a temporary replacement entity for a human whose Power of Existence has been significantly depleted. In addition, Yuji is a special kind of Torch who can move within Seals known as a Mystes (ミステス Misutesu) who contains a Treasure Tool (宝具, Hōgu), a magical object created by Denizens that can provide special abilities or even Powers of Unrestraint. Unfazed by his apparent death, Yuji befriends the girl and names her "Shana" after her sword. They later discover that the Treasure Tool within Yuji is the Reiji Maigo (零時迷子), which restores his Power of Existence every night at midnight.
As time goes on, Shana and Yuji encounter several more Flame Haze, such as Margery Daw and Wilhelmina Carmel, and Denizens in Misaki City. An organization of Denizens called Bal Masqué discovers that Yuji possess the Reiji Maigo and attempt to use the Treasure Tool on two separate occasions. Bal Masqué is led by three Lords called the Trinity: Hecate, Sydonay, and Bel Peol. They serve under a Crimson God known as the Snake of the Festival (祭礼の蛇, Sairei no Hebi), who resides within Reiji Maigo. Yuji formulates an elaborate plan with this God to create a parallel world called Xanadu, which will serve as a paradise for Denizens with unlimited Power of Existence. Shana, and all of the other Flame Haze around the world, oppose the creation of Xanadu, which would eventually cause a large-scale disruption in the human world, the Crimson Realm and Xanadu itself.
Shana formulates a countermeasure and is ultimately successful in adding a single law to Xanadu where the Denziens are not allowed to eat humans anymore. With Xanadu created, the Denizens depart to the new world, soon followed by about 1,200 Flame Haze. Yuji intends to go to Xanadu alone and make sure humans and Denizens can eventually learn to coexist, but Shana refuses to be left behind. In the end, Yuji accepts Shana's feelings and the two kiss, which activates a spell left to Yuji by Crimson Lord Lamia that restores his existence, so Yuji is no longer a Torch. With the help of another spell from Lamia, Yuji successfully restores all humans in Misaki City whose existence was absorbed by the Denizens before he and Shana depart for Xanadu together.

Video games
An action RPG visual novel titled Shakugan no Shana, developed by Vridge and published by MediaWorks, was released on March 23, 2006 for the PlayStation 2 (PS2).[86] A 36-page A4-sized art book titled Honō (焔) featuring illustrations by Ito was available to those who pre-ordered the game.[87] The game was re-released as a "Best" version on February 7, 2008.[88] The story was written by Yashichiro Takahashi, and features character designs by Noizi Ito. The opening theme song is "Exist" by Rie Kugimiya, which was released on volume one of the Assorted Shana albums.[75] The player assumes the role of Yuji Sakai during the visual novel aspect, where much of the game's duration is spent on reading the text that appears on the screen, which represents the story's narrative and dialogue.[89]
The game follows a branching plot line through eight chapters with five possible endings, and depending on the decisions that the player makes during the game, the plot will progress in a specific direction.[89] Every so often, the player will come to a point where he or she is given the chance to choose from multiple options. Text progression pauses at these points until a choice is made. To view all plot lines in their entirety, the player will have to replay the game multiple times and choose different choices to further the plot to an alternate direction. Sometimes during text progression, an "active countdown" minigame appears, which requires the player to press the game buttons in a specific order in a set time limit. Success or failure in these minigames influence which endings are viewed.[89] During the turn-based battle sequences, the player assumes the role of Shana. The player uses a combination of fire, powers of unrestraint, and treasure tools to battle Crimson Denizens; and Shana is also able to use a special attack and defend.[89]
A Nintendo DS port of the game titled Shakugan no Shana DS, developed by Vridge and published by MediaWorks, was released on March 29, 2007.[86] Those who pre-ordered the game received a calendar spanning April 2007 to March 2008, and an art book of rough sketches by Ito titled Tōka (灯火) was available for a limited time with the purchase of the game.[90] New story for the DS version was written by Takahashi. The game also contains an image gallery that allows the player to see what Shana and Yoshida Kazumi look like in different clothes, and a battle mode that lets the player fight against the computer with a character other than Shana.[91] While the PS2 version had full voice acting, the DS version contained only partial voice acting.
Shana appears as a playable character in the crossover RPG Dengeki Gakuen RPG: Cross of Venus for Nintendo DS, and as a cameo costume for the main character to wear in Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger VS Darkdeath Evilman for the PlayStation Portable complete with her signature sword, Nietono no Shana, as a weapon.
Reception
The Mainichi Shimbun reported in October 2011 that the novels have sold over 8.5 million copies.[92] As reported on the obi strip on volume 4 of the Shakugan no Shana manga released in January 2008, 1.2 million copies of the manga had been sold.[93] Theron Martin from Anime News Network reviewed the manga and called it "inferior" to the anime, and notes the anime develops characters better than the manga.[94] Martin also critiques the art, saying the background art has little detail, and while the action scenes are handled well enough, they are still sub-par compared to the same scenes in the anime. Martin concludes the review by warning the readers that "[if] this is your first exposure to the franchise, look to the anime version to see it done right."[94]
When reviewing the anime, Martin thought Shakugan no Shana always manages to slightly exceed expectations, and while its story elements may be typical, its execution is not.[95][96] Martin noted that Shana's Flame Haze transformation is a visual highlight of the series, and other details are shown equal care.[97] Reviewer Chris Beveridge of Mania.com felt uncomfortable about the morbid nature of the series.[98] While Beveridge did not think the series is "groundbreaking",[99] it proves to be a "solid title" that continuously gets better.[100] The pacing in the middle of the first season was criticized for quickly ending an arc before "going into a storyline that feels out of character for the show."[101]
