Armed Girl`s Machiavellism

Armed Girl's Machiavellism (Japanese: 武装少女マキャヴェリズム, Busō Shōjo Makyaverizumu) is a Japanese manga series written by Yuya Kurokami and illustrated by Karuna Kanzaki. The manga was serialized in Kadokawa's Monthly Shōnen Ace magazine from March 2014 to June 2022, and has been compiled into 13 volumes. The story is set at Private Aichi Symbiosis Academy, which was originally an all-girls school but became co-ed. Due to safety concerns, female students were allowed to bring weapons to school and formed a vigilante group called the 'Supreme Five Swords'. The protagonist, Fudo Nomura, is transferred to the academy after being expelled from his previous school for fighting. He is given two options: either dress and act like a girl, or face expulsion. The story follows Nomura's conflict with the 'Supreme Five Swords' and his efforts to survive in the unique school environment. An anime television series adaptation by Silver Link and Connect aired from April to June 2017, consisting of 12 episodes, along with an OVA. The anime depicts Nomura's challenge to the school's rules and his attempt to prove true morality despite being in an environment where force prevails.
