Though, as Sonya has the habit of regularly attacking her, perhaps Yasuna’s definition of “best friend” is a bit strange. However, as noted, Yasuna isn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. And while Sonya knows precisely what to do with every one of those sharp objects, even she is hard pressed to deal with the day-to-day oddities that seem to fill their class schedule. Things like: escaped bears, voodoo curses, juggling, and killer mosquitoes. Not to mention puppet shows. And just in case Yasuna’s school-life wasn’t weird or hazardous enough, there’s her ninja classmate, Agiri, assassins targeting just about everybody, a mysterious red haired girl with a personal vendetta, and the perils of slipping in the public bath. They say a little education can be a dangerous thing, but with a school life like this, Yasuna will be lucky to keep breathing past third period in KILL ME BABY!
