Synopsis:

Souma and his friends were typical high school students, and members of the student council; but things changed when a cat girl named Mao appeared in the school, looking for someone named Zero. Souma accidentally breaks Mao's mirror which causes her, Souma and his friends to be transported to her world. In this world, Souma and the other male humans from Earth can wield soulblades drawn from people's hearts. His friends landed in different parts of a war-torn world, so they have subsequently broken up into separate factions and each person is working towards winning the war. His friends have become each other's enemies, and it's up to Souma to be the one to create peace without choosing which friends should die.

If you liked Shining Tears, you'd also like Izumo because it is also about high school students being transported to a new world, friends battling friends and the act of having to choose one's loyalties.

The story of both series is about the same. The main characters are transferred to fantasy world and are involved in the war between nations with their friends on enemy's side. As the story progresses, all characters begin to change and better ungerstand each other. If you liked Shining Teras x Wind, you should definitely check out Fushigi Yugi. Due to its lenght, Fushigi Yugi is much more developed and also more romantic and that is why I think that you will find it more interesting.

Shining Tears X Wind and Star Ocean EX are both based on RPG games. The main characters find themselves transported into another world, and must go on adventures to get rid of monsters that are attacking people, and make the world safe. The male leads are weak at first but they later improve considerably, as well.
