Simoun

In a world where all humans are born female and choose their gender upon reaching adulthood, the sacred Simoun priestesses hold a unique and vital role. These elite pilots, chosen before their gender ceremony, are the only ones capable of operating the ancient, flying vessels known as Simoun. Their graceful aerial ballets are not just ceremonial; they are the key to unlocking an ancient, powerful energy source essential to their civilization. But when a devastating war erupts, the Simoun priestesses are thrust onto the front lines, their spiritual duties replaced by the harsh realities of combat. As their numbers dwindle and the true cost of their power is revealed, a group of young priestesses must confront the meaning of their sacred calling and their own identities amidst the chaos of a brutal, asymmetric conflict.
