The correct pronunciation is Shining Tears "Cross" Wind as it looks to be a crossover between Shining Tears and Shining Wind. Shining Tears X Wind revolves around a group of students in modern day Japan whom attends a prestigious school called the St. Luminous College. They decide to investigate the mysterious disappearance of citizens in this place called Tatsumi Town. One of the female students enters the room with a book titled "End Earth" talking about a different world. Souma leaves the class but realizes that he had forgotten his cell phone. It's established that there is an existence of another world.

That seems to pique Souma's curiosity even more and establishes that he's going to be of the main protagonists of Shining Tears X Wind. Then a mysterious girl manages to appear in the world we live in looking for a person named Zero who is a winged being also from her world. Everything takes an interesting turn the next day as Souma confesses his love to a fellow classmate named Kuriya. Then a wolf-life monster appears and starts wreaking havoc in the school courtyard. The mysterious girl makes her appearance and starts fighting the monster. Much to Souma's disbelief, the girl isn't human as she possesses cat ears.
