When Mirai Yoshida decided to do her undergraduate work in Time Travel Studies, she was giddy with the promise of adventure. But her hopes are abruptly shattered when an ambush by bandits leaves her classmates slain and her only means of returning home stolen.

Trapped indefinitely in 1860s Japan, she poses as a male Samurai and does her best to scrape by, but her future remains bleak and uncertain. Then a teashop waitress named Kako asks her for help, and the two of them set out on the Tokaido road -- to the mountains outside Edo, to the city of Kyoto, and perhaps to the home Mirai worries she may never see again.
