Synopsis of the manga (Sanctuary arc):
The story follows the battles of 5 teenagers, Bronze Knights, who must protect a young girl named Saori Kido, reincarnation of the goddess Athena.
Historically, when great upheavals occur in history, the Knights of the Zodiac are not far away... Linked to ancient mythology, they go unnoticed today and we have almost forgotten their existence.
Saori Kido is threatened by the plots of a usurper of the Great Pope, Athena's representative on Earth in her absence, and the master of the Sanctuary. This usurping Grand Pope sends a number of knights, either won over to his cause or manipulated, to eliminate Athena.
But things get complicated when Athena is badly wounded by a golden arrow stuck in her chest. The Bronze Knights must then face the terrible and powerful Golden Knights to save their goddess within twelve hours.
