Caught the 1st two eps... and I AM SO HOOKED!! Takeru and Takeshi
(the two wielding the swords) are fellow classmates and friends. Deep down,
there's a strong current of rivalry but their relationship largely precludes this
from being much of an issue... till a high-level kendo competition pits them
into bringing out their full agression on each other. Blah-blah-blah... and somehow
they and their 4 female friends end up 'on the other side' in what seems to
be opposing sides in a war? of sorts. So far pretty good story... and I'm HOPING enough of the budget was set aside for some slick swordplay...
and I do mean GOOD swordplay beyond the usual dramatic crawl of two stills
of the fighters.
