Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Tamaki’s reflexes catch the eye of Toraji, an awful Kendo instructor. His only hope for redemption: sign Tamaki as his star pupil. If Toraji can make her feel like part of the team, he might turn his girls into a fearsome sisterhood of the bamboo blade!

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
