The complete 12-episode run of the 2011 ecchi action series Maken-Ki! is now streaming on Crunchyroll and Hulu, featuring both English dub and subtitle options. The story follows Takeru Ohyama, a high schooler whose hopes for a normal co-ed experience are dashed when he discovers his new academy is a battleground where students wield magical weapons known as 'Makens'.
AIC Spirits produced the adaptation of Hiromitsu Takeda's manga, which leans into its harem and martial arts themes as Takeru navigates magical duels and a predominantly female cast. The series holds a 7.11 rating on MyAnimeList from over 40,000 voters.
With the entire first season available, viewers can experience Takeru's quest to find his own Maken and manage the romantic entanglements that arise in this supernatural school setting. The anime concluded its original broadcast in Fall 2011.
