Meet Recca Hanabishi, a regular high-school kid who hopes one day to become a ninja, and whose life is unexpectedly thrown for a loop the day he meets a cute and mysterious girl named Yanagi. Suddenly, the teenager discovers he's had super ninja secret powers all along. Together with his friends Fuko and Domon, Recca slowly learns how to navigate the ancient and oft-times arcane world of ninja warriors. But the winsome teen has an ace up his sleeve: not only does he already possess the skills of a ninja, he also harbors the ability to control fire. Come on baby, light my fire. Recca Hanabishi is always up for a good-natured tussle with his friends and even his father. That's because he's famous at school for being a ninja geek. Armed with the power to control flame, Hanabishi suddenly finds himself in an awkward situation. On the day he pledges his undying ninja allegiance to a pretty classmate named Yanagi Sakoshita, a mysterious older woman pops into his life. Is she good? Is she evil? What exactly does she want? And what's the deal with tomboy, Fuko Kirisawa? She's got the power of wind at her command.
Does she want to smash our hero to smithereens, or does she simply want to kiss him?
