Soon after, after losing a companion in a roller skating accident, Tomoe joins a stunt group called Green Ship. Although still mourning her friend's death, Tomoe has no reservations about embracing a relationship with the group's leader, Kazusa. Soon she learns Green Ship is a front for an assassin training camp.

In an adventure series like this, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Kazusa Himuro (Masashi Hironaka) and Tomoe Oujima (Yuriko Yamamoto) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. At 2 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
