Summary: The year is 1590, during the turbulent Sengoku era of Japan. A girl who calls herself Izumi, the sole survivor of the destruction of her village, has come into possession of a set of very powerful keys. These keys can give their wielder access to powerful weapons that could change the course of the era.
In her flight from those who want to kill her and take them, she has washed up in a Buddhist monastery, where she has met the monk Tenkai. Tenkai, who takes an interest in her troubles, may be more than he appears!
Review: Except for the heroine, I really liked the artwork. Izumi gets rescued by an obscure perverted monk in the mountains. She's on the run because she stole something from a warring faction. The monk ends up rescuing her from a deadly pursuer and that’s when we find out that the monk and Izumi have met previously.
The plot is interesting, not really elaborate and it's ok for a one time read. The supernatural weapons and etc didn't fit the time period, but it's shounen so it's alright to suspend disbelief.
