NAMUAMIDABUTSU! -UTENA-

The inescapable pains of life—birth, aging, sickness, and death—haunt all beings. The path to salvation lies in Buddhist enlightenment. At the end of a war, a prince who attained enlightenment became Shaka Nyorai and saved the world. A long era has passed since then, now in a late age of decadence. Mara, the fear that once sought to destroy Shaka's enlightenment, has forged a pact with a devil to exact revenge. He begins to manipulate people through their worries. Meanwhile, a team centered on Shaka, called the Thirteen Buddhas, and the two benevolent guardians of the dharma, Taishakuten and Bonten, rise to confront Mara and shield humanity from anxiety. A battle between Mara and the Buddhist gods that involves the people begins now.
