Japan's past meets its cyberpunk future as ancient Edo's greatest guardian, Himiko, finds herself in a technicolor high-tech metropolis filled with cruel armored samurai, giant robotic monsters, and massive floating fortresses. Armed only with her magical golden yo-yo Kusanagi and a staunch belief in the Nemesis Code, the Daughter of the Rising Sun enters this brave new world a lone survivor, seeking retribution for the horrifying invasion of her home. Will Himiko gain the retribution she seeks...or will her first adventure in Megacity Yamato...be her last?
BROKEN PRINCESS is a wonderful celebration of Japanese mythology, legend, and culture delivered in a candy coating of homage to the cyberpunk anime of the 1980s. Move over, SUPERGIRL and WONDER WOMAN...there is a new superheroine on the scene!
