IZUMO - Takeki Ken no Senki
Having lost his parents at a young age, Yagi Takeru, lives alone with his kendo sensi, and they are both looked after by two of his fellow classmates from Izumo Academy, Shiratori Kotono and her sister, Asuka. Along with his best friend and greatest kendo rival, Yamato Takeshi, they are enjoying a happy school experience, at least until Takeshi and Takeru begin sharing the same dream of a priestess calling to them. In a strange confrontation in the schoolyard, Takeru and four girls are shrouded in a strange light that covers Takeshi, and then everything goes black. When they wake up, they find themselves separated from one another in a high school cracking and broken with age and covered in trees and vines. An attack by giant hostile insects, then a confrontation with strange floating creatures, with a sudden rescue by a troop of sword-carrying soldiers on horseback is proof that they are now in a very different world.
