Flame of Recca

Recca Hanabishi is the son of a fireworks maker, and a ninja. Or at least, he thinks he is! Since he was young, he's always felt a deep connection to those shadowy warriors from the past. But when the past comes calling, Recca's in for a fiery awakening.

Recca declares that he's Yanagi's personal ninja in front of the entire school, which causes all kinds of rumors. Fuko, Recca's rival, decides to see whether there's any truth to the claims.

Kage Hoshi reveals some disturbing information after Domon and Recca save Fuko from herself. Overhearing all of this, the next day Tokiya, an older classmate, challenges Recca to a fight.

Domon, Yanagi, and Fuko try to help Recca out of his depression over his loss to Tokiya. But a trip to an amusement park turns deadly when Tokiya challenges Recca once more.

Recca finds a kindred spirit in the new history teacher, who knows all about the ninja of the past. The visit to the teacher's home, however, goes wrong when enemies show up to kidnap Yanagi.

In order to unlock the secret of immortality for his father, Kurei has kidnapped Yanagi. Recca sets off to rescue her, with Domon and Fuko joining him to settle their own scores.
