During the Taisho era of 1918, 17-year-old Benio Hanamura thrives on bucking tradition. As a
boisterous and quarrelsome tomboy, Miss Hanamura leads a life of kendo and tree-climbing
adventure with her best friends Tamaki and Ranmaru. Benio determines to find love on her
own, though her family has other plans. She meets the handsome second lieutenant Shinobu,
who immediately ruffles Benio's feathers. Benio then discovers, to her dismay, that Shinobu
plans to marry her as an arrangement between their families. Benio tries to sabotage these
plans by failing at her domestic duties, but gradually finds herself falling in love with Shinobu
and his family. Alas, with their country on the brink of war, Shinobu enlists to fight the Russian
army. Striving to be bolder than her culture allows, young Benio does more than simply wait at
home with her feelings; she must continue on her journey to modern womanhood, with no
guarantee that her fiancé will return.
