About this title

Synopsis

Momoko is the only child of the Kuzuryuu clan, a powerful martial arts family with inhuman strength. But strong as she is, her father fears a woman will never be able to master the skills of the family. Unless Momoko marries and bears a capable heir, the Kuzuryuu line is doomed to weaken and die off! With this mission in mind, Momoko is sent to the rival Inuzuka clan, where she is to marry the son of their mighty leader. But Koushi Inuzuka abandoned the martial arts long ago. Now committed to his legal studies, the last thing Koushi has on his mind is marriage—especially not to the world's strongest bride! (Source: Yen Press)

Main characters

Momoko Kuzuryuu76 fan favorites
External profile
Momoko is a strange and hyperactive young girl who is also a martial artist in a special form of martial arts that only members of the twelve Zodiac Masters of Japan can learn. She is associated with the dragon of the Chinese zodiac. She wants to become Kōshi's bride in order to produce a strong son with him, as her father told her that since she is a female, she is currently unable to master her family's martial arts techniques effectively. Momoko shares a strange relationship with Kōshi which has been compared to that of a dog and its master in the series itself. Momoko is very adamant about getting married with Kōshi, and often tries to do the best she can to please him in any way.

Although Iroha is only 15 years old, she's a powerful fighter and the first assassin (along with Hanzo) who tries to kill Koushi. But instead of killing him, she falls in love with him and decides to visit the same school as he does in order to get to know him better. Iroha has always been a mysterious and quiet girl before she met Koushi and Momoko, but after doing so she started to behave more like a girl in her age usually would.
Koushi Inuzuka9 fan favorites
External profile
Kōshi is a handsome, intelligent, yet physically weak seventeen-year-old high school student who is the son of Unken Inuzuka, a martial arts master and member of one of the twelve Zodiac Master families of Japan. His family is associated with the dog of the Chinese zodiac. However, against his father's wishes, he wants nothing to do with martial arts. He has avoided training ever since being terrorized by bullies at a young age, which initially caused him to freeze every time that he sees violence. Due to this, he wants to someday become a prosecutor so that he will be able to punish crimes effectively. As such, he is constantly seen reading books on laws and codes that govern Japan. He seems to believe that martial arts do not have any realistically applicable power and the rule of law can be used as a weapon against enemies. He is shocked by his father's decision of an arranged marriage and continuously has to fight off the love advances of Momoko.
Sanae Nakajima9 fan favorites
External profile
Sanae is a female high school student who is also one of Kōshi's friends. She is also his class representative. Unknown to everyone, however, she changes into a heroine known as Tenchū Senshi Uma Kamen, literally meaning "Divine Punishment Warrior Horse Mask", the identity she uses to fight as a superhero. She is apparently also the granddaughter of Iroha's and Hanzō's landlady. Both she and her grandmother are masters associated with the horse of the zodiac. As the chosen protector of the Inuzuka heir, Sanae has been given her tribe's special outfit to wear, which increases its wearer's power. Alas, the outfit closely resembles a bondage costume and is most effective when less of it is worn; when the wearer only has certain pieces of the costume equipped, their power is highly focused in the parts covered. In the Nakajima family, kicks are the central part of their combat style, so the costume is most effective for Sanae when she wears nothing but the boots. Needless to say, Sanae finds the costume embarrassing enough when wearing all of it.
