Miyuki Shirakawa, a seventeen-year-old girl in modern Japan, is slowly consumed by a rare and incurable disease. She spends her final months confined to a hospital bed, haunted by regrets and the life she never fully lived. Yet death is not the end. She awakens in a new world—reborn as a newborn girl with snow-white hair and piercing blue eyes.
This world is harsh and beautiful: samurai clans uphold honor, spiritual energy courses through the land, and mystical creatures threaten both life and peace. Helpless in her infant body but retaining the memories of her past life, Miyuki must begin again from nothing. Walking, speaking, learning—every simple task becomes a trial. Her early years are marked by physical weakness, psychological struggle, and the growing awareness that the path to strength will be long and punishing.
Guided by loving adoptive parents, Miyuki slowly discovers the traditions of the samurai, the nature of spiritual energy, and the realities of danger and mortality in her new world. From clumsy attempts at wielding a wooden sword to her first encounter with a mystical creature, each step teaches her resilience and shapes her determination. Psychological tension is woven throughout as she grapples with fear, vulnerability, and the pressure of a destiny she cannot yet fully understand.
By the age of six, Miyuki experiences her first true manifestation of spiritual energy in her sword, signaling the beginning of a slow but inevitable journey toward becoming a legendary samurai. Volume 1 establishes the foundation of Miyuki’s struggle, blending dark psychological introspection, emotional depth, and early adventures that foreshadow an epic life of growth, conflict, and heroism.
