The very few that survived were absorbed into the Kōga clan, despite their past rivalries.After 17 years the Sengoku Period finally came to an end, and Japan was unified.
Enju (Protagonist), daughter of Kandō Ueno, the Head of the Kōga clan, spends her days training diligently in hope of becoming a full-fledged ninja like her peers.
At long last she is assigned to her first mission, but finds herself caught in a dark conspiracy――.
The visual novel has two endings for each of the five main characters. Red Entertainment and LANTERN ROOMS developed the game.
