SynopsisUsagi is the granddaughter of the leader of prestigious ninja village, but she's such a klutz that she's never made it out of the kiddie class. Frustrated with Usagi's lack of progress, her grandfather sends her to marry Lord Hanzo and have lots of ninja babies. But the lord has no interest in her or her childbearing potential!
Usagi is reunited with Hanzo, but Usagi's bliss ends abruptly when Hanzo's sister Suzune pays a visit and starts throwing ninja stars at the happy couple. Suzune won't accept Usagi as a potential sister-in-law if she can't evade her deadly attacks. Can Usagi survive Suzune's ninja offensive?
Review
This volume doesn't necessarily have a lot of substance in it, but it's still fun to read. Well, except for when they introduce Suzune, who is a complete bitch. I swear, I wanted to strangle the woman and her horribly behaved children for how they treated Usagi and how Suzune judged Usagi before getting to know her. She also wouldn't take responsibility for her awful spawn's atrocious behavior, and insisted on blaming everyone on someone else, usually Usagi or Mamezo. But, it's not all bad, even though Usagi usually puts up with her abuse, she actually does stand up for herself after something really bad happens, which I have to say, I was really happy and proud of her for doing so. And, the best of all, is that this mess doesn't last very long, as Suzune and Usagi finally come to understand each other after Usagi learns how to do housework.
The last chapter has Usagi being kidnapped by the mysterious blond man she met in the last book. He puts her to work making medicines for injured Kouga ninja. It ends on a cliffhanger, where he's trying to persuade her to make a poison. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.
Final thought: I have to read the next book!
