There really isn't anything on MAL about this so I thought I'd review it not only to review it but also to add a bit of context for those that are interested. This review will be spoiler free.

... Synopsis
---------------------------
"The time is the Sengoku era, the place is the country of Kyushu, Hyuga. Kagashi is asked to exterminate a fox youkai, enters the mountains, and encounters a strange woman." - (Source: MangaUpdates)

------------------
Plot
-------------------
Kagashi is a bitter young Shinobi out for revenge, so it's fair to say nothing overly revolutionary. The main draw to this manga would be the characters themselves. Obviously I don't want to give the game away but it's their serene adventures and apparent indifference to each other mixed in with the gritty, realistic and often brutal depictions of violence and life in Senggoku era Japan.

-----------------
Art
-----------------
The art it is pretty good, not going to be winning awards by any stretch of the imagination but it is consistent and has some great panels.

Conclusion
-----------------------
At 14 chapters (9 translated as of this review) I would say give it a punt. While the comparisons I made in the first section may seem like overly high praise it really is a cool little manga. and It's sad to see it so untouched. The little interactions between the main characters and how they interact with the world from their vastly different perspectives is something I really look forward to when another chapter is translated.
