Hiiro no Kakera (2012)
緋色の欠片

Hiiro no Kakera

Tamaki moved to the village to live with her grandmother after her parents were transferred to overseas. the real reason she must moved back into the village was hidden from her. she later found out that it was her purpose to seal the sword Onikirimaru (鬼切丸). she had to fend herself, fighting creatures that supposedly existed only in myths. 5 young men were assigned as her guardians while she fulfill her destiny as the Tamayorihime (玉依姫).

with so many male characters circling one female character, it was obvious that Hiiro no Kakera (2012) was targeting the female audiences. despite the good looking characters, the plot was nothing new. Tamaki was the descendant of the Tamayorihime (Tamayori Princess) who was said to possess great power. however, for more than half of the series, she was just some random damsel in distress, protected by 5 stunning guys over and over again. the pace of the story was slow, which only got slightly better at the end.
