Nanatsu no Taizai
The Holy Knights of Britannia, adored yet feared, guard the area of Britannia and its kingdoms with incredibly potent magic in a setting resembling the European Middle Ages. To depose the monarch of Liones, a tiny group of the Knights allegedly betrayed their country and turned their swords against their allies. The Holy Knights vanquished them, but stories persisted that the mythical knights known as the "Seven Deadly Sins" were still alive. Ten years later, the Holy Knights themselves carried out a coup d'état and took control of the Kingdom of Liones as oppressive new overlords. Following the exploits of Elizabeth, the third princess of the Kingdom of Liones, and her hunt for the Seven Deadly Sins, Nanatsu no Taizai is based on the bestselling manga series of the same name. She works to retake her country from the Holy Knights with their assistance as well as to pursue justice in a world that lacks it.
