Eighteen years ago, in the midst of the Seitei War, Kunishige Rokuhira stood as the most celebrated figure in Japan. A peerless swordsmith, he crafted six enchanted blades, each carrying its own unique power that ensured the nation's triumph. Once the war ended, Kunishige retreated to the mountains with his son, Chihiro, who began to earnestly study the art of smithing. As Chihiro approached his 15th birthday, the composed boy resolved to eventually take over his father's work. But his plans shattered when he witnessed a band of powerful sorcerers kill his father and make off with the sacred katanas. Three years after that fateful day, Chihiro lives with a heart full of hatred and a relentless thirst for vengeance. Wielding Enten—the seventh and final enchanted blade his father secretly forged—he cuts down those aligned with the Hishaku, the group he holds responsible for his father's murder. Though Chihiro has yet to fully master Enten's abilities or perfect his swordsmanship, he will pursue the stolen blades without mercy, aiming to avenge his father and uphold the legacy he left behind.

Kindergarten Noir is recognized as the safest preschool in the world. The children of wealthy and influential families attend it, and its security is nearly airtight, even though assassination attempts happen frequently on a daily basis. Yet the instructors at this preschool are anything but typical—they are all ex-convicts working off their prison sentences. The newly arrived legendary assassin named Rita is no exception. Under her contract, she must serve as a teacher for one full year to earn her release. Rita quickly demonstrates her value with extraordinary combat skills, but even this infamous killer has a vulnerability: she yearns for a handsome boyfriend, which makes her lose focus in battle when she encounters an especially attractive foe. Together with her colleagues, Rita continues to safeguard the children in order to gain freedom, but she never stops searching for the man of her dreams.
