Saya Kisaragi, a seemingly normal girl who is overly clumsy and kind, attends school during the day just like any other student. However, Saya is really a swordswoman, trained to use the "art of the sword" at night against the Furukimono ("Ancient Ones," or "Elder Bairns" in the English dub), the monsters that menace her peaceful town, with a sword left by her missing mother. Her neighbor and coffee shop owner Fumito Nanahara appears to be a kind person, but little does Saya know, there is more to Fumito than just his friendly demeanor. As Saya fights against the Furukimono, she learns more things about her actual origins, her real mission and the truth behind her classmates as well as Fumito.
