Synopsis

It could be said that this is a female version of Trigun, only not as violent. Rushuna Tendo is a busty, beautiful senshi (gun expert) trying to make the war-torn world she lives in a better place. Although she is an expert with a six-shooter (with a novel way to store extra ammo), her greatest weapon isn't her gun – it's her smile, which is so disarming many enemies would rather not fight her. And if she is forced into a gun battle, she would rather shoot to disarm, not to kill. She is currently on a quest to find the ultimate battle strategy - to overcome an opponent's will to fight without fighting!

Rushuna, who also loves long hot baths, runs into a young samurai named Yajiro Kojima, a.k.a. "the Rear Guard Tiger", who had fled from an ill-fated battle earlier and hides the young man in the hot springs she was bathing in (under her huge breasts). The boy doesn't have much faith in senshis, mostly because he believes that they view life only by how hard they pull their triggers. But after seeing Rushuna's skills, Yajiro sees her differently. Together, the two seek to end the long conflict which also has Rushuna fighting a bounty against her... oddly enough, by her own mentor, the empress Tenshi!

The two are later joined by a young girl, Mikan Kurenai, the daughter of a balloon maker who was orphaned by a senshi, and with Rushuna's help loses her desire for revenge. She now accompanies Rushuna and Yajiro on a new quest - to clear Rushuna's name, as well as fighting an old friend of Yajiro's - Kaizan Doshi, a.k.a. the Jester, who seeks to rule the world using brute force!
