My-Hime

On the ferry to Fuuka Academy, transfer student Mai Tokiha travels with her frail younger brother, Takumi, when she notices a girl floating in the water. After the rescue, an attacker strikes, unleashing a mechanical monster—only for the injured Mikoto Minagi to repel it with an otherworldly sword.

Once on campus, Mai learns Mikoto is also a student and that both are tied to the HiME—“Highly-advanced Materializing Equipment,” powers held by certain girls. Tasked with protecting the academy and the surrounding city from creatures known as Orphans, the HiME are drawn into repeated clashes as the threat grows closer. Mai soon discovers she is a HiME as well, able to summon a powerful mechanical partner called a Child, and joins 12 other HiME to defend Fuuka Academy while trying to keep those they care about safe.
