▍Fairy Fencer F: Refrain Chord Story
Long ago, people were given knowledge by a goddess and civilization flourished.
They built towers that reached the heavens and perfected weapons that could pierce even the gods.
However, the civilization was soon extinguished due to a conflict between an evil god and a goddess. Time has passed since then, to the present day. Fang, a young man who has become a “Fencer,” travels with his friends in search of Fury in order to revive the Goddess.
One day, he meets a girl who saves people with her songs and another girl who brainwashes people with her songs. Fang’s destiny begins to unfold with the mysterious power of these girls, who call themselves the “Divas”.
