Alone in a world that underestimates her, Keiko must wield her sword to seek the justice and honor her family deserves.
When Keiko is left to fend for herself, she faces a daunting task: reclaiming her family's legacy and reputation. But as a woman in a society that doubts her capabilities, she must overcome prejudice and adversity at every turn.
After pleading with her daimyo for restitution, Keiko is met with scorn and betrayal. Her family's lands are seized, leaving her with only one recourse according to the strict code of bushido: vengeance.
Determined to avenge her losses and defy the men who seek to exploit her, Keiko becomes a cunning force akin to the praying mantis. She lures her enemies into a false sense of security before striking with lethal precision.
In Mantis, Keiko's journey unfolds as a testament to resilience, cunning strategy, and the unyielding spirit of a warrior woman fighting against injustice.
