Synopsis:

Ruuko Kominato’s life shifts dramatically with the arrival of a WIXOSS card – not just a game piece, but a vessel containing a spirited girl. Thrust into a hidden world, Ruuko learns she's become a Selector, participating in a high-stakes battle arena where young women fight for their desires. Victory promises fulfillment, but defeat carries a devastating consequence: utter annihilation.

The narrative unfolds within a visually striking and psychologically charged setting, exploring the complexities of identity and longing. As Ruuko navigates this precarious game, she forges bonds with others similarly bound, questioning the true cost of achieving one's wishes. The series delves into themes of self-discovery, moral ambiguity, and the power of connection amidst a system built on manipulation and sacrifice. It presents a thoughtful exploration of what people are willing to risk for the things they crave.
