With the game Destiny Child end of service notice, I am left alone with nothing similar in terms of plot. Yeah-yeah, jokes about boobies and asses. The thing that got me hooked on that game was the music, the characters(their backstories and personalities), the setting, and the plot. With developers ending the support of the game; I doubt the story will be finished.

This leaves me with a void I need to fill. Although I came across something similar, Sekirei is the best example of a finished work; there aren't enough works with the same premise. So I ask all of you to share similar stories.

What I want is a kind of battle royale story, where the weapons are sentient beings. Or, to unleash the full battle potential, characters have to work in groups or pairs like in manhwa Freezing. The key points here, this has to be some kind of a battle royale, and participants has to be tightly connected with their weapons\partners through something.

Obviously with romance. I'm okay if some side characters are in GL or BL relationships, but only if their appearances are brief and not the center of attention. MC shouldn't be GB, or in a GL\BL relationship. Doesn't matter if there is smut, harem, both, or neither.

To make things clear, I'm not looking for stories like Darwin's Game, or Btoom. I'm looking for stories that are similar to Sekirei when it comes to premise.

I can't help but think about Soul Eater, but since it's quite known, you might have already seen it. (I've only watched the Yuri version of Soul Eater (Soul Eater NOT!), so no idea if the original one has romance.)

Val X Love
Tsugumomo
The entire Fate Series
Absolute Duo
Unbreakable Machine-Doll (Very heavy into BR)

Read Soul Eater, read Val X Love, it's not what I want. I don't remember it well enough, but Tsugumomo isn't what I'm looking for either.
Elemental gelade is the first thing that comes to mind.
Is it battle royale?
The entire Fate Series
Too convoluted.

There is a lot of fighting but not as much as akami ga kill. The plot is something like a guy find a girl in a box who turns out to be an epic sentient weapon that everyone wants and he has to use her to defend himself.

Thank you, but this is not what I'm looking for.
