Imprisoned and sentenced to hang for the murders she committed to avenge her family, Yuki is given a reprieve by the mysterious Kikui, a secret government agent. In return for her life, Yuki must infiltrate the household of Ransui, an anarchist and activist, assassinate him, and recover an important document.

But all is not as it seems. The document in question contains evidence of a foul miscarriage of justice engineered by Kukui and his patron for political and personal gain. When Yuki decides to switch sides to help Ransui, Kikui unleashes every weapon at his disposal to eliminate them, recover the document, and protect his secret.

Once again, the deadly blade of Lady Snowblood must stain itself with death… but this time it’s not for revenge, it’s for justice.
