Benio Hanamura

Living in 1920s Tokyo, this spirited seventeen-year-old defies Taishō-era expectations through her tomboyish lifestyle and passion for literature. Raised by her high-ranking military father after her mother's passing, she rejects arranged marriages in favor of independence and romantic love. Whether practicing kendo or sporting bold Western fashions, she remains a fierce advocate for women's rights alongside her best friends, the elegant Tamaki and the kabuki-trained Ranmaru, challenging traditional gender roles with every step.
