Ikki Tousen: Battle Vixens

Synopsis

In the Kanto region, seven high schools are locked in a fierce struggle for dominance, with each participant being the reincarnation of a famous warrior from the Three Kingdoms era. This rebirth forces them into a dangerous journey shaped by their often cruel fates. Among them is Hakufu Sonsaku, a carefree student at Nanyou Academy. Despite her extraordinary martial skills, she is fated to meet an early death at the hands of the ruthless Ukitsu. Her protector is her classmate and cousin, Koukin Shuuyu, who has been charged by Hakufu's mother with shielding her from this bleak destiny. Complicating matters, Hakufu experiences sudden fits of rage during which she loses consciousness and unleashes a destructive force that endangers her own life. Together with Nanyou's "Big Four," Hakufu and Shuuyu must thwart the schemes of their chief rival schools and discover the true nature of Hakufu's abilities before time runs out.
