In an alternate medieval Japan, the era of battles came to a close and the age of Owari – the firm rule of the shogunate – began. The last major uprising of Prince Hida was brutally suppressed, with Mutsue Yasuji playing the leading role; he is the sixth head of Kyo‑to‑ryu, a unique school of hand‑to‑hand combat. The shogun did not forget the master"s merits and, as is proper, soon after consolidating his power sent him along with his family to an uninhabited island as a token of gratitude. Twenty years passed, and peace settled over the country… Peace also on the distant island. After burying his father, young Sitika Yasuji, the seventh master of Kyo‑to‑ryu, trains relentlessly, while his older sister Nanami runs a modest household. They would have lived like this if not for visitors from the mainland. Togame, a special government agent, told the hosts the story of the black‑wizard smith Sikizaki, who among a thousand blades forged 12 Great Swords that must forever bleed, inciting hatred and discord. Collecting the Great Swords and ending the shogunate"s turmoil proves impossible – the temptation to possess them is too great: loyal ninjas easily betray their masters, noble samurai can no longer release a perfect blade from their hands. The cunning advisor calculated that only the master of Kyo‑to school – "swordless combat" – can handle this. But motivation is needed for the work, and if it"s not money or martial honor, then there remains… love! "Fall in love with me!" commands the beautiful Togame to honest and naive Sitika. Do you think it will work?
