In the television anime's story, since ancient
times, shrine maidens who wield swords have been exorcising
"aratama," strange existences that threaten the human world. These
young women who wear school uniforms and a sword are called "Toji,"
and they serve as an official unit within the police force as a "special
religious service police squad." The government authorizes the Toji to
wear swords and serve as government officials, and the government has set up
five schools throughout the country for the girls to attend.
The girls live ordinary school lives, while
occasionally performing their duties, wielding their swords and using various
powers to fight and protect the people. In the spring, the five schools send
their best Toji to compete in a tournament. As the tournament comes closer, all
of the representatives rigorously train themselves in order to get stronger and
improve their skills.
