summary

The "pillar" is the keystone of the Onikagitai.

Although they vary in gender and age, they all share the same desire to defeat demons and wish for a peaceful world.

Currently, Oni-no-Kiri no Kaede has been animated up to the "Sword Forging Village Arc," and a sequel, the "Pillar Training Arc," has been decided to be animated.

It is hoped that the story will be the first time the Pillar Conference will see Pillar in action.
