Manyuu Hikenchou

The Manyuu clan rules a society that measures women's worth by their bodies. Chifusa, a daughter of that powerful family, refuses to accept its cruel hierarchy. Taking the clan's secret scroll, she abandons her home with the intention of challenging the order her relatives uphold.

Kaede accompanies her through a countryside shaped by that injustice. Pursuers and dangerous swordsmen test Chifusa's resolve, while the people she meets give her reasons to keep fighting. Her inherited skill becomes a weapon against the very authority that taught her to wield it.
