School librarian and Natsuru&#039;s friend, she is also a Blue K&auml;mpfer like Natsuru. Normally very shy (which might very well be attributed to her tendency of misunderstanding what others are trying to do in a borderline-erotic way) and soft-spoken, she has bipolar disorder upon transforming into a K&auml;mpfer, becoming foul-mouthed, bitter, vindictive, and trigger-happy. She explained most of the rules of being a K&auml;mpfer when Natsuru&#039;s own Messenger gave no such details. She is a Gewehr type K&auml;mpfer who uses an 1911 .45 pistol and appears to be ambidextrous. In addition to having Natsuru as the first male to establish in-depth friendship with her, Akane eventually begins to harbor feelings for him, becoming jealous and easily irritable when he talks about another girl (most if not all of the time being Kaede) in front of her or when another girl takes an interest in him (whether that interest is romantic in nature or not). Despite often responding with indifference, however, Natsuru does later tell her that if Kaede were never on his mind, she (Normal form) would have been the kind of girl he &quot;sees no problem with&quot;.

Waking up transformed into a beautiful girl might be the stuff of some guys' fantasies, but when the suddenly effeminatized Natsuru is informed by a stuffed tiger that he's now a Kampfer, a mystical fighter who has to fight other Kampfers in female form, his life becomes a living nightmare! 
Putting aside the obvious "plumbing" issues, Natusru's best childhood friend turns out to swing the other way and SHE has a crush on his new female body. Not complex enough? Natsuru's school has separate sections for boys and girls, so he and she are now double enrolled. The rumor-mill has it that he's dating herself. And there are other Kampfers attending the school who want to take her out, and he's not sure which ones mean "on a date" and which ones mean "permanently." Oh, and did we mention that some Kampfers use swords and gun?! Hormones, fists, and other body parts will fly as the daring, new gender-blender defender must become a contender or die!

Natsuru dreamt of being a lady killer. Instead, he got turned into a Kämpfer, a lady who’s supposed to fight and kill!


High school life has rarely been an easy thing to endure for the typical teenager. Even more so for Natsuru Seno, an average teenage boy who one day finds himself transformed into a teenage girl. His transformation was caused by his being chosen to become a KÄMPFER (female fighters destined to battle each other). He has no idea how or even why he’s been thrust into such a predicament. Natsuru’s situation only grows more complicated when he realizes that attacks from other KÄMPFER can happen anywhere, and at any time. With potential dangers lying in wait around every corner, how will Natsuru maintain normalcy in his life? How can a teenage boy be normal with a newly acquired, randomly appearing, and greatly endowed female form?!

A very special episode included with the Blu-ray release. The Entrails Animals and Akane discuss philosophical topics such as existence, purpose, and low-quality merchandise.

Kämpfer - One who exists to fight. Anyone chosen as a Kämpfer will be forced to fight until death. Our hero, Natsuru-san, awoke to find himself chosen as a Kämpfer. Only one thing for him changed. He is now a She!!!
