>>3156933My guess is that DMM wanted to create game that can attract female fanbases, just like Kancolle was a huge hit among guys. There are a large portion of female history buffs in Japan (called reki-jo), not to mention otome fangirls and fujoshis. It'll be a waste if DMM didn't cater to them.
Games about sword girls do exist though, like the upcoming Tenka Hyakken and now-terminated Shinken!!.
