SYNOPSIS
A mystical flame whisks two ordinary high school students, Himiko and Kutani, into the war-torn kingdom of Yamatai. There, six women compete to become queen while an invading empire tightens its grip, its general commanding legions of the undead to cement his power. Himiko and Kutani find themselves thrust into the resistance alongside the queen candidates, armed with abilities they barely understand and connections to this ancient world they never knew existed. The sacred flame that brought them here pulses with purpose, granting them strength when they need it most. What unfolds is a blend of political intrigue and supernatural combat as the kingdom fights for survival against overwhelming odds. Himiko grapples with her newfound role as something more than a bystander, discovering that her arrival in Yamatai was no accident. The chemistry between the queen candidates carries the weight of their impossible choices: rally people to their cause, master forbidden powers, or watch everything burn. It's a story about ordinary people discovering they're capable of extraordinary things when everything they care about is at stake.
