Ryuuko Matoi’s search to find the person who killed her father has lead her to Honnouji Academy. In order to fight the student council president Satsuki Kiryuuin and learn the identity of her father’s murderer, Ryuuko must defeat the various club presidents who have been given special uniforms that unlock their fighting potential. Ryuuko’s not alone though, she has the encouragement of her new friend Mako, a large weapon shaped like half a pair of scissors and some remarkable attire of her own.
