Toma is the top member of the Kendo club at his school, a split school between sports and academics. and he does quite well... till one day when he spots a naked academic girl hiding under a desk asking for help. So he does so, which a strange foriegner named Karma proceeds to attack him and rip out his eye using even stranger powers. Toma then proceeds to WILL himself to a yet even stranger place called Tao. A tournament is soon to take place, where worlds compete in teams of 5 to see who will survive and who will be devoured. using powers called Codon, Toma needs to focus on mastering his codon and surviving Karma's deadly attacks on his person to find a more "suitable" gladiator. but he only seems to concern himself with saving and rescuing his naked female friend.
