Toji no Miko

In a world where ancient, malevolent entities known as Aradama threaten humanity, an elite group of shrine maidens stands as the last line of defense. These "Toji" wield special swords, channeling their spiritual energy to combat the otherworldly threats. But their battles are not just against monsters; they are also against the expectations and traditions of a society that relies on them, yet keeps them at a distance. Enter Kanami Etou, a cheerful and exceptionally skilled Toji who dreams of proving herself at the annual sword-fighting tournament. As the competition unfolds, a shocking incident throws her and her fellow sword-wielders into a conspiracy far grander and more perilous than any Aradama. With the fate of their world — and perhaps their own bodies — hanging in the balance, these young women must forge their own path amidst duty, destiny, and betrayal.
