Synopsis of Kannazuki no Miko
The shy Himeko loves Chikane, the beautiful and brilliant "princess" of the exclusive school for foreigners. She has been looking forward to her 16th birthday with great excitement for weeks. But on that fateful day, a shrine appears in the sky, giant robots destroy the school, and Himeko discovers that she is the reincarnation of the Sun Priestess, while Chikane is the reincarnation of the Moon Priestess.
