Rin is the last of the Mutenichi-ryudojo tribe; which was destroyed by Itto-ryu. Rin is an amateur spy searching for Manji, an immortal that vowed to protect and aid her.  While on her quest for revenge she becomes good friends with Doa, an Itto-ryu warrior.  Neither of them knowing about each other’s past.  As the story plays out it is revealed that a powerful Bangashira named Kerimura is having dark experiments in a search for immortality.

Good story line, but very hard to follow if you have never read any of the background stories.
