Synopsis:

In a world perpetually shadowed by conflict, Rushuna journeys as an unlikely peacemaker. A skilled markswoman with an unwavering optimism, she seeks to resolve disputes not through force, but by disarming the very desire for battle with genuine kindness and smiles. Her travels lead her to encounter Yajirou, a hardened mercenary whose reliance on traditional combat contrasts sharply with Rushuna’s approach. Drawn together by a shared desire for a more tranquil world, they form an uneasy alliance. The series explores themes of pacifism versus pragmatism, examining the power of empathy in a landscape steeped in violence and questioning whether true peace can be achieved through gentle persuasion or requires a different kind of strength altogether.
