Synopsis

Apprentice fortune teller Akari becomes a magical girl using Sun tarot power to battle Daemonia with Sefiro Fiore team.

Akari Taiyou is an apprentice fortune teller living with her aunt, uncle, and their daughter Fuyuna. Having lost her mother at a young age, the only thing Akari has left of her is a deck of tarot cards and a dream to follow in her footsteps as a fortune teller. One night, Akari has a mysterious dream that seems to foreshadow something dark. When she awakens, she finds her world subtly changed in ways she can't quite explain. After a strange encounter with a supernatural threat, she is rescued by three magical girls: Ginka Shirokane, Seira Hoshikawa, and Luna Tsukuyomi. They reveal that they are from the Sefiro Fiore organization, which uses Elemental Tarot power to fight mysterious evil creatures known as "Daemonia." Akari discovers she too possesses magical abilities and has inherited her mother's power connected to The Sun card. As she learns more about her role as a magical girl, she faces difficult choices about the nature of the enemies she must fight and what it truly means to protect others. Thrust into a hidden world of magic and danger, Akari must navigate her new responsibilities while the bonds between her teammates will be tested by challenges both external and internal.
