Etotama Action
Already in antiquity, Japan honored the tradition of the twelve zodiac signs. The Eto-Musume (Zodiak-Girls) are pure-hearted ambassadors who act as a bridge between people and gods. Every 60 years, the “ETM 12” tournament takes place in Tokyo’s Akihabara district, bringing together ambitious girls from all over Japan in the hope of becoming the next Zodiak girl.
The only condition is: Defeat the twelve other Zodiak girls! But no one has done that for 2000 years. The story begins when Nya-tan and Takeru Amano meet.
