In Kinuta Village, it’s the princess who’s the hero!

Bored with her leisurely days in the lap of luxury, she takes her yearning for adventure on the road with a dancer named Yugao. However, the human world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, and Kikyo is going to need more than her wits and scrappiness to survive!
