* Loosely based on the manga by Shiozaki Yuuji which is in turn based on the classic Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Seven schools are constantly at war with each other, and their students — both male and female — have become skilled fighters and constantly battle with rival schools. Their lives and fates are guided by strange jewels that contain the spirits and destinies of warriors from the Sangokushi period. One girl, Sonsaku Hakufu, has recently moved to Japan and is apparently destined to unite the schools much like her historical counterpart united seven countries long ago. But, like all heroes, there is a darker side to her fate, and as always there is a constant struggle by those around her to break the chains of their own destinies and determine their own lives.
