Note:
Based on the ongoing manga series written by Hiroyuki Yoshino(screenwriter of My-HiME and Code Geass) and illustrated by Ken'etsu Sato who did the manga adaption of My-HiME series. Character designer Makoto Uno is known for his curvy girls in Witchblade and Dragonaut: The Resonance, and animator Hiraku Kaneko who did the character design for the buxom Cattleya in Queen's Blade will make his director debut. You can count on a whole lot of cleavages here.
Synopsis:
The story takes place on the grounds of St. Mihailov Academy, a Japanese Eastern Orthodox school, and draws heavily on religious references from the aforementioned religion. Here it follows the trials and hardship of two of its students, Oribe Mafuyu and Tomo Yamanobe, until the encounter with a mysterious, silver-haired, Russian boy named Alexander, or Sasha for short. This pits them and the whole school in an all-out war between the Church itself and the so-called "Adepts", a sect of individuals wielding powers linked to the elements of chemistry.
