Shirei Nanaka, a swordsman without a sword, and Akame, a collector of hentai swords, are on a quest to find 12 hentai swords when they confront Azekura Hisashi, a pirate captain from Satsuma. Azekura possesses the armor, a hentai sword that boasts the strongest defense, and stands in the way of Nanaka and the others. Nanaka is rocked by love, and Azekura maneuvers to test her heart. Will Nanaka be able to defeat Azekura and obtain the armor?

The theme of the game is love. Because of her love for reproach, Nanaka is lost and agonized. She is like a boy and girl struggling with love, but her pride as the strongest swordsman is also shaken. The appeal of the game is that the two emotions of love and sword fight, and Nanaka's heart is delicately and dramatically depicted.

The highlight is the fierce battle between Nanaka and Azekura. Equipped with armor, Azekura is truly an iron-walled fortress. Nanaka struggles, but never gives up. For the sake of his loved ones, and for the sake of his pride as the strongest swordsman, Nanaka fights against Azekura, which will surely make the hearts of readers warm.

Love makes people strong and sometimes makes them suffer. But love is a fundamental human emotion that never goes away. This work depicts the story of love on the grand stage of the sword. By paying attention to the powerful action scenes as well as the emotional movements of the characters, you will be able to get deeper into the world of the work.
