Synopsis:

The narrative follows a group of samurai unexpectedly displaced from their own time and deposited into an alternate reality. This world is populated entirely by female figures resembling historical personalities, creating a striking juxtaposition between feudal aesthetics and modern life. The samurai, initially bewildered by the unfamiliar surroundings of Tokyo, forge strong bonds with each other as they navigate this strange new world together.

The series explores themes of adaptation, camaraderie, and the clash between tradition and modernity through the eyes of these warriors. Their experiences highlight both the wonder and the challenges of encountering a vastly different culture. While grappling with their lost pasts, the samurai find unexpected friendship and purpose in this peculiar, high-school girl-dominated world. The story offers a contemplative look at identity and belonging within an unfamiliar landscape.
