About Bamboo Blade
Toraji Ishida is a high school kendo teacher who is challenged by a fellow kendo teacher: If Ishida can assemble a girls' kendo team that can defeat his girls' team in a practice match, Ishida can eat free meals at his father's sushi restaurant for a whole year. Now Ishida must find five girls to join the team. Luckily, just before the match he finds Tamaki!
