Karakuri no Kimi

Princess Rangiku carries the last creations of her murdered father: formidable mechanical puppets she can direct in battle. She is hunting Lord Karimata, the man who destroyed her family to seize the secrets of those inventions.

Her search for a legendary ninja instead brings her to Yasaburo, a wary survivor with little enthusiasm for a doomed revenge mission. Rangiku's puppets are powerful, but controlling them leaves her exposed. She needs someone to guard her while she fights, and Karimata's seemingly deathless warriors give the unlikely allies little time to learn to trust each other.
