The Seven Heavenly Virtues is a sequel to Hobby Japan’s The Seven Mortal Sins. Following the events of Seven Mortal Sins, demons have managed to push forward to spread their darkest ambitions. Heaven lay in chaos. To bring an end to the demon menace, the angels of the “Seven Heavenly Virtues” are sent to Earth to search for their candidate as the true messiah.
Plus anime boobs, apparently.
Anyway, Sentai describes the show as:
Heaven has been thrown into chaos, and in the ashes, seven voluptuous angels known as the Seven Heavenly Virtues, are sent to Earth to search for a candidate who can become the “true messiah”. As these beauties from the sky try to race against time, they realize how far the Seven Mortal Sins have spread their plague. Their search is just beginning… Will the lucky candidate be able to handle these salacious angels?
