Blade


Sakura Wars creator Ouji Hiroi returns to complete his dark tale of a young innocent summoned into a frightful world where the dead walk, and a fateful battle against an evil that is as real as the setting sun. Having finally honed her powers and gained the strength needed to battle the legions of the undead unleashed upon the land by the evil king, Himiko determines to bring the king's reign to an end and prevent him from turning the population into mindless zombie slaves. Though her skills are formidable, this noble young warrior will need much more than physical power to defeat the tyrannical leader, and before the fighting has ceased Himiko will finally learn what it means to become a true warrior.
