Kurohime is a buxom witch with the power to control magical guns. She once made the mistake of challenging the gods and was cursed for her foolishness! Transformed into a little girl named Himeko, she can only regain her former body and powers when she falls in love. But finding love in a world fraught with evil is no easy task. A master gunman named Zero searches the land for the legendary Kurohime. She saved him as a child, impressing upon him the importance of justice and helping others. While on his journey he meets a young girl named Himeko and is suddenly attacked by overwhelming forces. Outnumbered, outgunned and out of luck he makes his last stand in order to protect this "helpless" girl. Little does he know this girl has an incredible secret.
