Witchibureido is an anime series loosely based on the American comic book series Witchblade, published by Image Comics & Top Cow Productions, but is not a direct adaptation and takes place in an alternate setting with new characters. The bearer of the Witchblade is Masane Amaha, who is a kindhearted, well-intentioned woman who is clumsy and awkward around the house. Having lost her memory during the Great Quake which ravaged Tokyo, Japan, Masane was found uninjured at the quake's ground zero with a baby in her arms. Six years later, she returns to Tokyo with the child, whom she believes is her daughter, intending to live a peaceful life. Masane becomes entangled in a power struggle between a large corporation and a government agency, and discovers that a mysterious bracelet on her right wrist is the legendary Witchblade.
