Taking place in the Tokugawa-era Japan, ten girls are orphaned and placed in the care of Ji, a master of martial arts. The shogun, not wanting civil war to take place, has the girls trained as assassins in order to preemptively take out upstart warlords. After 10 years, the girls are paired up in a death match, with only five of them walking away. Azumi, having had to kill her friend and thus completing her training, descends upon enemies of the shogun (such as sympathizers to the deceased ex-warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi). What follows is violence and bloodshed paying homage to the manga of the same name.
