Description[]
Set in Germany about 100 years ago, when war was in the air, the play follows 17-year-old Magnus (RIKU) who enrolls with his best friend Abel (Itokawa Yojiro) in an elite sports school where everyone aspires to become the best fencer. He devotes himself to fencing under strict guidance with other young men who share the same dream: Jasper, an optimist who loves music and humor (Urakawa Shohei); Frederick (Masaki Kaoru), a cool-headed fencing ace; and Hagen (Yoshitaka Shion), a military maniac who is arrogant but fragile on the inside. However, the school is not what you would call normal. Gradually, the students begin to notice the situation, and when they finally learn the school's hidden secret, they begin to change. But ambitious Magnus is different from the other students......[7]
