Overview
"The all-girls boarding school Tenchi Academy isn't just known for its quality academics - it's also known for training the top sword fighters in the country. Students in the special 'Sword Bearer' programme compete in a school-wide battle known as the Star Stealing, striving to win both money and fame. Meet Kurogane Hayate, a spunky, well-intentioned tomboy who has taken her sister's spot at Tenchi Academy with big dreams of paying off her orphanage's mountain of debt. Together with her Sword Sister Mudo Ayana, a girl who would sooner beat Hayate senseless than get to know her, the duo proceeds to ruffle more than a few feathers as they plow through the competition.

Its curious blend of light girl/ girl romance with nonstop sword fighting action distinguishes it as a unique and exciting manga series that has earned a die-hard legions of fans."
