BAMBOO BLADE, Vol. 1

Poor, in debt, and living on instant noodles, high school kendo
instructor Kojiro makes a bet with an old friend on a practice meet
between the all-girls' teams of their respective schools. The prize: a
year's worth of free sushi! It's too good for the desperate Kojiro to
pass up! But with only one active member on the kendo team, Korjio must
move quickly to put together a squad before the meet. He's got his eye
on Tamaki, the daughter of a kendo master and a skilled swordswoman
herself. The only trouble is...she's not interested. Kojiro's willing to
try anything, but what will it take to win her over?
