Both of them are Minoko’s high school classmates and seem like normal teenagers but are two of the most feared killers in the mob world who handle missions often involving other assassins and underground groups.

This manga features violent stories of passion and swordsmanship, set in the Kan\'ei era (1624-1643). It opens with a match between two damaged swordsmen.
