A Maiden’s Sword and Secret Concerto [Download Version]

Synopsis

Karanoki Hinata, who had been studying Western swordsmanship abroad, is greeted at a Japanese airport by a woman named Nina Clione after a year away. Led by Nina to a certain academy, Hinata is captivated by the sight before them: beautiful maidens clad in ornate armor, their swords clashing and sparking. “That’s ‘Mai-tou: Cadenza’—a duel between knights,” Nina explains. She is the headmaster and director of Ginran Academy. “We teach chivalry here. Would you be interested in teaching swordsmanship, Hinata?” After being evaluated for his skills, Hinata agrees to experience Mai-tou firsthand. But instead of gleaming armor, he’s dressed in a slightly suggestive bodysuit and a wig—cross-dressed to compete in the academy’s exclusive ‘Theatre: Teatru,’ where holographic armor and swords are conjured by magic. Against all odds, he defeats the academy’s strongest knight.

“Who is this person?” “She’s Ugaoka Hina, a second-year Knight Cultivation student joining us as an assistant instructor!” Nina announces to the cheering students, while Hinata hears none of it. Thus begins Hinata’s—now Hina’s—double life as both staff and student at an academy full of maidens, as the curtain rises on a tumultuous cross-dressing adventure.
