Don't let her get close!

W-What are these guys?

Don't let your guard down!

These guys aren't human.

These guys are...

S-Stay back!

Shoot!

Don't hesitate!

Well, Yu, since you didn't stop them, I had to kill them all.

How boring. They were so weak.

I guess we really don't need them, do we, Yume?

Japan Capital City Shintou Teitou

— Year 2020 —

I'm Minato Sahashi and I'm 19 years of age.

And I've failed a second time.

Sorry, Mom. I failed again this year.

Eh? What are you going to do? Are you coming home?

Sorry, let me think for a bit.

I'll call you back soon.

Yeah. Bye.

Continuing on to economic news:

Today, the CEO of the giant conglomerate MBI, Mr. Minaka,

announced that his company has acquired 80% of Shintou Teitou stock.

As a result, the city council had several voices of dissent which...

What kind of company would buy out the whole damn city?

MBI... That's their building, isn't it?

It's the tallest one in Teitou.

Shintou Teitou...

I wanted to go to the capital, and this is how things ended up...

I failed twice at getting into college, and I wouldn't say there's anything else I want to do.

Plus, at the very least, there's no way I could get a girlfriend this way...

Move out of the way!

Please get out of the way!

O-O-Ouch...

Owie...

I-I guess it really was too high to jump from there.

Thank you.

You absorbed my impact, didn't you?

T-That's not what you should be...

She's cute.

Watch out!

Running is useless!

Fight us.

I still won't fight!

Even if you didn't want to...

What? Sparkles?

We do!

Wait!

Damn you!

O-Ouch...

Oh, I'm a restless sleeper. I ended up over here...

I didn't do anything!

Nothing at all!

Good morning.

Thank you for lending me something to wear to sleep.

I'm sorry. I even used your bed.

Minato?

I-I'm sorry! Please change! I'll be outside. Call me when you're done.

Not good. This is seriously bad!

Her breasts were like that...

I guess it wasn't a dream.

We should be okay if we go this...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

I'm really sorry for getting you involved.

I wonder why, though. If I just ran away by myself, it would have been okay, but I ended up dragging you along.

A woman's hand... It was really soft.

Sorry for telling you so late, but my name is Musubi.

Oh, I'm Minato Sahashi.

Minato, I want to thank you again for saving me.

Oh, I really didn't do anything...

W-Wait...

Musubi?

Musubi!

She collapsed from hunger...

You really, really saved me!

Even though you saved me, I'm still...

I-It's okay. Please, eat up.

Okay.

Even so, not minding the clothes she's wearing, what exactly happened?

She was flying and there were explosions. And, what were those sparkles about?

Minato!

Yes?

Actually...

You have no place to go?!

Yeah... And if I wouldn't be imposing on you, do you think I could stay here?

I-I wouldn't exactly mind...

Yay! Thanks!

Um... Oh yeah, some people were just chasing after you...

What?

Minato, if only someone like you could become my Ashikabi...

Ashikabi?

Yes, I've been searching for one for a long time.

For that precious person we have yet to discover. We were all born for those numerous Ashikabi.

To guide them to the distant heights of heaven.

Just what was that...

Mr. Sahashi.

L-Landlord!

Is there someone in your room?

A-A friend came over for a bit...

Oh? You know this apartment building is for singles, right?

If you brought a woman over, I'll make you leave right away!

O-Okay.

Minato!

Yes?

Are you finished changing?

I'm sorry.

Was I immodest?

No, it was completely breasts.

I mean, no, not at all.

Actually, I was happy.

That's good.

I think it's best if you didn't do that in front of others, though.

Minato!

No, it's not like I meant it was okay for you to show me either!

I'm hungry.

I see. I understand.

That was good!

I'm glad you're satisfied.

She chowed down twelve meals...

Minato, let me make something this evening!

Really?

Yeah, expect wonders!

Okay!

Well, I'm going to hit up the bank, so head to the supermarket ahead of me.

Do you know the way?

Yeah.

I can't just tell her I want her to leave.

The family restaurant Donna Mendez has its grand re-opening today!

Please come!

Please do!

It's the guy who was with that bratty Sekirei!

You're the two girls in the S&M outfits from yesterday!

Where is that Sekirei?

Sekirei?

Minato!

I forgot to ask you what you wanted to eat!

N-No! Run, Musubi!

Too bad you ran into us twice in two days.

Teitou sure is small, isn't it?

You two!

You're too slow!

Musubi.

Since you were with a man, we thought you had already gained your wings, but...

It seems that's not the case yet.

How lucky.

Musubi!

Minato...

If you do something to this girl, I'll...

Why are you protecting her?

You're not her Ashikabi, are you?

Musubi, run away!

You're annoying.

Do you want to die with her?

M-Musubi!

Hurry and run away!

I... Why am I...

Hey!

Wait!

He keeps dodging!

Hibiki, seal him in!

That was tough.

What's wrong? You're all red.

Musubi.

What should I do? What should I do, Minato?

My body is getting so hot...

Musubi, wait!

S-Sorry.

Minato.

I... I...

This is really bad.

Did you think you could run?

You're trapped like rats. Give up.

Um, Musubi...

Hikari, look!

This is bad.

Damn it!

She did it!

Who would think that she would join with a man at a place like this.

We let our guard down.

But still, it kind of pisses me off.

I guess there's no changing the fact that she got her wings.

For the time being, do you think you could die to make us feel better?

Let go of Minato!

So, you've become suddenly resolute.

If you don't let him go...

Tell me. If I don't let him go, what exactly will you do?

Hikari! Above you!

What?

Nice going. Since you just joined with someone, I underestimated you!

We have a rule against fighting those who gave gained their wings.

Well, do your best trying to get to the heights of heaven.

I'm sure we're getting fired from our part-time job.

It pisses me off! We'll have to look for another girl!

Just what kind of battle is fighting someone without a master?

Homura?!

You sleazy thing... Were you watching over us?

Targeting only those who haven't gained wings...

Do you really think you can win like that?

Shut up!

You're just acting like a guardian!

Want to go at it?

If you wish.

This is bad.

We're going to get burnt black again.

It seems like that girl has found a master.

Fights between winged Sekirei are not my problem.

She just doesn't get it.

Well, there are others we were watching.

What we're doing is a battle royale, with the city as our stage.

It's too easy to target rookies who stand out.

Are you okay, Minato?

Don't worry about me. You need to cover up!

What are you guys?

We are Sekirei.

Brother, you failed your exams again?!

Y-Yukari, you're talking too loud.

You know, I still want you to send them, even if they're old clothes.

No way. What would you be doing with a high school girl's clothing?

My brother has been completely corrupted by the big city!

What are you saying? That's not--

Well, it's okay. I'll just send whatever seems interesting at the moment.

Just pick them out normally! Got it?

Anyway, thanks.

Our meal should be ready soon.

Thanks.

This is kind of nice.

Musubi and those two girls... Just what was that?

She said "Sekirei," right?

Even though I saw it with my own eyes, it just doesn't seem real.

Did I turn on the TV?

Wait! Don't turn it off!

Congratulations. You've been selected as a Sekirei partner.

Professor!

You know him?

Yeah.

He's the professor. My boss.

If you don't even know my face, you should at least read a newspaper every once in a while, Minato Sahashi.

That explains why you failed your exams twice.

W-Why do you...

There is nothing I don't know.

The Sekirei Project. That's the name of the game you are currently playing.

The Sekirei Project?

I wonder if you understood.

In other words, Musubi fights secretly with others called "Sekirei,"

and I'm a partner or something called an "Ashikabi."

You really picked that up quickly!

But, telling me all of that now doesn't really...

Furthermore, this is a top-secret project.

Now that you know, whether you like it or not, it is your duty to keep silent about it.

Whether I like it or not?!

In the case of an information leak, my company, MBI, will use all of its power to do mean things.

"Do mean things?"

"Use all of its power?!"

Anyway, I'm really busy, so I'll take my leave.

Wait! What do you mean by "do mean things?!"

Anyway, stay in good health, #88 Musubi.

Okay, Professor!

Like I was saying, what did you mean by "do mean things?"

Hi. Who is it?

MBI.

Hold on!

I haven't said anything to anyone!

I didn't squeal!

Wait, that was too fast.

What was that?

My clothes.

I guess I didn't have to ask Yukari after all.

W-Wait!

I'll be outside!

Minato.

I'll fight for you!

We'll definitely win and head to the heights of heaven together!

Musubi...

Landlord!

So, there was someone there.

Um, this is...

Get out!

A college reject without a co-signer...

How's your budget?

Can't do it.

This makes it the fifteenth one...

Looking for a place is pretty difficult.

The budget is one thing, but I can't rely on my mom to co-sign.

Minato?

It's okay. It's okay.

Let's go to the next one! The next one!

We went to over thirty places, and none of them worked out.

I guess the world really isn't that nice.

Minato?

Hey, Musubi?

Yes?

Why did I end up being an Ashikabi?

I'm worthless. I have nothing good going for me.

I've even failed at getting into college... Twice.

If an Ashikabi is something that important, then I don't really think I can do it.

The moon is supposed to be pretty tonight...

I like you.

Just being yourself is wonderful in itself.

You're my special person.

If you want it, I can do anything.

I'll part the thick clouds and head towards the moon, and someday, we'll even be able to reach the heights of heaven!

On the contract I have completed, my fist shall destroy that which imperils my Ashikabi!

Okay, let's go!

I'm going to tell you a story from long ago.

In ancient times, the gods lived in a land known as Takamagahara.

It's said that the stone ship of the gods once landed here, carrying their treasures.

However, that's just an old story.

It's merely a tired, ancient myth, unrecorded even in the Nihon Shoki and the Kojiki.

Despite this, a new myth has begun!

One hundred and eight Sekirei have been dispersed!

The Sekirei must fight for the Ashikabi which they have chosen for themselves.

The final one remaining shall guide their Ashikabi to the heights of heaven,

where he shall obtain the fate of the world!

So, let the new myth begin!

The beautiful tale of war!

The miraculous love story!

I told you the moon was beautiful, didn't I?

Yeah.

The spring I had failed a second time in my life...

Musubi.

That's when I met her.

First Wing

Sekirei

I feel like I've been dragged into something amazing.

Minato, have more faith in yourself!

Musubi!

That's because Minato is the ideal example of a character who gets caught up in things!

What do you mean by that?
