Swordplay/High School/Spiritual/Fighting Titles

#
Swordplay: (Story/Location) A subcategory of "Action". This is about the art or skill of wielding a sword, esp. in fencing. Entries in this category should contain the use of swords to a large extent in scenes.

High School: (Story/Location) Self-explanatory. High School (grades 10-12) should play a major role in the title. A typical High School series will include a Sports Festival, a Cultural Festival, and a School Trip. Related categories: "Elementary School", "Middle School", "College".

Spiritual: (Story/Location) Spirituality, in a narrow sense, concerns itself with matters of the spirit, a concept closely tied to religious belief and faith, a transcendent reality, or one or more deities. The ↗Shinto religion was once the state religion of Japan and still holds a deep and special meaning within the Japanese culture. Traditionally considered to be an animism or shamanist religion, it places great value on nature worship and is a common theme of anime. Many series have characters possessing special powers or insights which are attributed to their being a Miko Shrine Maiden or a Shinto priest. For more information, see ↗WikiPedia entry for Spirituality.

Fighting: (Story/Location) Series whose primary focus is fighting would fit into this segment. (More precise) Subgenres include "Gun-Action", "Martial Arts" and "Swordplay".

Kurosaki Ichigo is not your ordinary 15 year old, because he has always had the ability to see and interact with those spirits and ghosts that remained behind and are hidden to ordinary people. And one fateful day, a female Shinigami (soul reaper) named Kuchiki Rukia appears before him as she is hunting for an evil spirit. During the confrontation with the daemon, both Ichigo and Rukia are seriously injured, and Rukia has to transfer her powers to Ichigo to assist him in defeating the evil Hollow. But in doing so, she loses all of her power and she now expects Ichigo to continue in her task of fighting and defeating those fallen spirits whom she calls Hollows, who exist only to devour other innocent souls.
