Samurai Girl volume 1

This is the story of Heaven, a girl who is the sole survivor of a terrible plane crash. She is adopted by an incredibly rich family and eventually is promised in marriage to the son of another rich, and competing, clan.

Things go terribly wrong for her, though. Her brother is killed in front of her eyes. She might be a potential target herself. Running away helps for a short time when she gets help from a friend (Hiro) who trains her in bushido, or "the way of the warrior."

Other things go wrong for her and she must try somehow to cope with no longer being rich and having someone out to kill her.

This is a very interesting story. It's definitely not a happy-happy type of story, either. The characters are well written and the pace of the story is very quick. Definitely worth reading.
