The obsession of sakura sanda's life is warriors and visiting her grandmother in fukui.she is a college student with that goal being her whole objective in life,to find the virtually unrecorded warrior known as"withering shadow"as her grandmother had before her.During scholl break however she returns to fukui to mourn and find her only inheritance,a single wooden locket necklace with a carved tiger shrouded by shadows and sakuras.the feeling it gave her was of a deep affection.who's was it?where did it come from?
Why is she somehow the next day awakening on a battlefield in the last hours of the shogunate?
Why is there a lone warrior clad in black wearing a mask of white with black ink like tears that doesn't scare her?
Not even a little bit.
