At first, it seems like an ordinary day for the three Kenga sisters, Seilin, Kalin and Julin. Seilin is out jogging, Kalin is making breakfast and Julin is awakening from a strange dream of fighting a mysterious enemy. Little do they know that they are, in fact, the reincarnation of an ancient martial arts clan who once saved the world from their own misguided father. Today's the day they'll begin to live out their destiny. Strange beings start to appear: an attacking crow who changes to a leotard-clad woman, mask-wearing strangers and an old man with a powerful bell. As Julin comes to understand her heritage, the larger story comes into focus, setting up a confrontation with Julin's ancient enemy in a future volume.
