The anime is a historical-action series telling the tale of Nio Chirinu, the male protagonist, who works with his sister at his adoptive grandmother's restaurant. However, one day, Nio and his sister are used as bait to arrest some criminals by a vigilante group called Miburo.

Initially, Nio hesitates because of his weakness in a sword fight. However, with time, he grows more accustomed to the sword. Sadly, the Miburo officials of the same age as Nio don't accept the male protagonist due to his amateurish skills. So, will Nio be able to prove his worth?
