Anime Like Hayou no Tsurugi: Shikkoku no Mashou
A girl with a cursed inheritance hunts demons with a sword that talks back to her. The Youki helping her isn't what he seems, and neither is the brother hunting her, every answer about her bloodline costs her something. This OVA moves like it knows exactly what it is: a small, sharp story about power you never asked for, told in two episodes that don't waste a frame.
SYNOPSIS
Rasu lives in the Floating Castle, a sanctuary for those who wage war against supernatural creatures. When a princess vanishes into the hands of a powerful youki, Rasu finds herself chosen by the Demon-Breaker, a sword with a mind of its own and an attitude to match. The weapon grants her the power to hunt demons, but the rescue mission becomes far more complicated than anticipated. Her greatest obstacle comes from an unexpected ally: Anshu, a youki who breaks every rule about his own kind. Unlike the monsters Rasu hunts, Anshu possesses something unprecedented, a quality that makes him fundamentally different. Yet trust between human and demon is fragile when her own brother stands in her way, driven by dark ambitions. He craves the golden eyes Rasu inherited from their father, a power connected to an ancient lineage of demon slayers. Caught between her brother's betrayal, a youki's cryptic help, and a sword that argues with her every decision, Rasu must decide who to trust as the rescue mission spirals into something far deadlier than a simple kidnapping.
