Synopsis:

The narrative centers on Fuuka Academy, a boarding school where female students possess extraordinary abilities linked to advanced technology known as HiME. Newcomer Mai Tokiha and her brother Takumi encounter Mikoto Minagi, a student with a unique mechanical sword, during a ferry journey. This event thrusts them into a world of defending against mysterious, monstrous entities called Orphans.

As Mai discovers she too is a HiME, capable of summoning a powerful mechanical companion, she joins twelve other students in protecting the academy and surrounding city. The series explores themes of responsibility, self-discovery, and the complexities of wielding power while navigating personal relationships amidst escalating threats. The atmosphere blends school life with intense action sequences as the HiME confront an unknown danger, grappling with their burgeoning abilities and the weight of their duties to safeguard those they care about.
