* The World There once was a small, peaceful island. One day, an earthquake caused a tidal wave, casting the deep-dwelling ancients of the water onto land. Among them were evil creatures. Further, the island was home to certain malevolents who capitalized on the chaos, and turned against their fellow inhabitants. Distraught, the islanders sought help from outside. They found a prominent bounty hunter and asked her to purge the island of monsters. Meanwhile, tentacles were seizing young girls across the land. A war of shojo vs. shokushu had begun. * The Heroine Kano Ibuki was the princess of a certain kingdom. Growing up she idolized the ways of martial arts, and yearned to see the world she would someday rule. The good king saw this and permitted her to travel. Thus began Kano's adventure. Righteous and capable, Kano assumed the role of bounty hunter, to give her travels even greater purpose: she would not only see the world, but meet and rescue its people. This spunky, tsundere princess is the heroine of this tale.
