The anime is co-written and features character design by Hiromu Arakawa, creator of FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST. For citizens of the Xian Empire, justice is a myth. Lord Keiro, the deranged General of the Imperial Army, blazes a trail of terror across the countryside in search of the sacred sword that will make him a god. Standing in his way is Taito, an omnipotent star reborn in human form -- a young hero who vows to use his celestial strength to avenge those slaughtered by the villainous General. Taito`s mystical powers steer him toward a violent showdown with Keiro, and if used recklessly, his newfound abilities could shred the very fabric of his being. To master the art of control and become a heroic martial artist, Taito must seek the guidance of others like him: the seven star-born warriors with the strength to shatter a corrupt empire.
