Tensei shitara Ken deshita

Members of the Black Cats tribe face a grim reality of being hunted, enslaved, and killed. Fran, a twelve-year-old girl from this persecuted race, burns with desire for revenge against the wrongs inflicted on her people. She envisions a future where she can achieve justice, even if it means getting her hands dirty. Her fate takes a decisive turn when she meets a talking sword—a reincarnated man seeking an exceptional wielder. With her newfound companion, young Fran sets out to restore the pride and honor of her kin, cutting down every enemy in her path. Driven by unwavering determination, she begins her journey alongside her miraculous blade.
