SYNOPSIS
In a mythical world called Amawakuni (天和国, Amawakuni) where
humans and gods co-exist, a ceremony marking the new governing princess
is about to occur for the first time in 60 years. Only a girl from the
Hime Clan may take this position, but a boy called Arata must pose for
the role, since the lack of females born to this family. During the
ceremony, the Twelve Shinshō, the wielders of special swords called
Hayagami (劍神, Hayagami), led by Kannagi, betray Princess Kikuri
by trying to assassinate her and Arata (an eyewitness) to become
emperor. Kannagi frames Arata for the princess' murder, Arata manage to
escape and runs into the mysterious Kando Forest.
Meanwhile in modern-day Japan, a shy boy named Arata Hinohara is
starting his new life in high school. He wants to put memories of his
difficult past behind him, but things aren't going to be simple when
Masato Kadowaki, the bully from his old school, emerges. Feeling the
world is unreliable, Hinohara walks into an alley, and soon finds
himself in Amawakuni, where the world mistakes him for "Arata". Having
to run to Arata's house, Hinohara learns from Arata's grandmother, that
he and the other Arata have "switched lives", according to the legend
within Kando Forest. When Kannagi searches the house, Hinohara comes
across a rusted sword, activates its power, and becomes a Shō (鞘, Shou). The sword is a Hayagami named Tsukuyo.
At the same time, Arata emerges from the forest and finds himself in
Japan. He has a run-in with the police because he is shirtless but is
saved by Nao, Hinohara's sister, and is taken into Hinohara's family
mistaking him for their "Arata". Eventually, he meets a strange girl
named Imina Oribe.
Kotoha, Arata's childhood friend, gives Hinohara the princess' charm (ミチヒノタマ, Michihi no Tama)
before he is arrested. In a jail cell, Hinohara talks to Arata through
the other charm that Kotoha had given him, and both realize they are
indeed in each other's worlds. He discovers the truth behind the
princess' assassination from Arata, and are forced to take each other's
roles. At the Imperial Court, Hinohara is found guilty, and exiled to
Gatoya Island. On the trip to the island, Kotoha tags along and gives
him his Hayagami. Also because of the charm's power he is able to talk
to Princess Kikuri (who is just barely alive) and she asks him to govern
the world as otherwise there will only be war. After escaping Gatoya
Island, Hinohara and Kotoha with their new friend Kanata, head to the
mainland on a quest to restore order and save the princess. (Source: Wikipedia)
