✦A twice-failed university applicant learns he can partner with superpowered Sekirei, drawing him into a competition overseen by a mysterious corporation.
Synopsis
Minato is intelligent but freezes under pressure, a problem that has cost him two university entrance attempts. Then he encounters Musubi while she is under attack. She identifies him as an Ashikabi, someone able to partner with Sekirei and help them use their full power. His academic schedule becomes less urgent.
Fail the exam. Meet Musubi during an attack. Learn that you can form a power-granting partnership with a Sekirei. The series connects romantic bonds to a competition involving 108 unusual fighters and the corporation managing their conflict. Personal compatibility now carries serious public stakes.
Minato thinks repeated exam failure has settled the question of whether he is useful. Then Musubi arrives and reveals that he can help a superpowered partner reach her full strength. Suddenly his anxiety belongs inside a huge romantic battle system. The premise gets loud almost immediately.
The camera advertises the ecchi material before the characters can establish themselves, so viewer tolerance matters. Behind that packaging is a direct setup. Minato can empower a Sekirei through partnership, while a corporation turns those relationships into a competition. Romance and tactics therefore share the same problem.
