Calamitous Ninja to Youka to Akubou no Sato (RJ01397538)

The long-standing civil war in the land of Yōkoku had finally come to an end,
and the people were just beginning to grow accustomed to peaceful lives once more.

Born and raised as a child of the covert organization Kokujin-nin,
which operated in the shadows of the conflict,
Kazekiri Akina, recognized for her exceptional ninja talent,
journeys to a foreign village to take on the Trial of the Forged Blade—
a challenge said to grant the title of menkyo kaiden (master-level license) to those who overcome it.

In this village, known as a training ground for Kokujin-nin,
Akina reunites with Shiranami Harukarō,
a senior disciple who, like her, was once orphaned—and her very first love.

Blushing in the presence of the man she has long yearned for,
Akina nevertheless steels herself for the upcoming trial.
She resolves to confess her feelings to Harukarō once she earns the title of master.
