NOTICE: Volume 2 will be leaving RR in November, Please read the announcment! Tama is a ninja. She speaks in the third person, loves her Sensei, and thinks her pet boar Jiggle is the best thing since burnt fish. She is also, apparently, the lost princess of a kingdom she's never heard of and the living avatar of the Goddess of Creation. She'd rather fight goblins and eat fries. Saki is a Kitsune. She's spent her entire life manipulating everyone around her, hiding her true nature, and ignoring the voice in her head that whispers erase. She thought she was beyond caring about anyone. Then she met Tama. Together, a powerful but simple Nekojin and a cynical but caring Kitsune stumble through goblin armies, undead liches, ancient dragons, and the worst enemy of all: Responsibility.
