This is technically a prequel to the Seraph of the End manga/anime. The story follows Guren and the trials and tribulations he must endure due to the Hiragi clan and how he seeks to overcome them.
The story really humanises Guren a lot more than what you see in the manga - where he barely shows any emotion - and overall made him not only more relatable, but a much better and in-depth character than Yu.

This is a rock solid prequel to the Seraph of the End manga, in many ways it's better than the series it's a prequel to.
