"The blade was buried deep in my father's back." Hana and Kimi's uncle Hidehira has launched a surprise attack on their father, a great samurai warrior and local government official. Hana and Kimi escape by using their martial arts training, but their uncle's soldiers aren't far behind. The only place to hide is a nearby dojo, which trains only boys. "So," says Kimi, taking her sword to her hair, "we'll become boys."
