What if Takagi-ancestor sans was a kunoichi? an all-female village where girls are taught to fear and avoid men in place of sitting beside the boy she likes in class? Even though these men are only a short distance away across the mountain, Why is it that this ancestor is eager to meet one?
In a nutshell, that is the story of In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki (). She is the best kunoichi student in her school but she is also maturing and thinking about boys, even though she has never met or even seen any. Tsubaki There is times when the unknown is what motivates us.
Most, if not all, of the other females, share this curiosity, but they do so tinged with sexism and sexist jokes about the other gender (they’re monkeys, their crotches are weak, they stink). There are times when she sends her kohai, Sazanka and Ahegao, on their own to track down and beat up the men who have been reported to be in the area.
A large portion of the episode’s action revolves around Tsubaki setting out into the night to return the two younger girls to their parents. These tiny ninjas are as quick as darts and as sharp as a knife. You get the impression that any men out there would be at a disadvantage because they can breathe fire and change their forms.
After deciding that there is no harm in watching men from a distance rather than engaging in conversation, Tsubaki comes dangerously close to making contact with the men herself.
Tsubaki, on the other hand, goes into panic mode when one of those men appears behind them, and the two manage to flee. Even though Tsubaki had walked to the edge of the precipice before retreating, the tiny Sazanka was desperate for a fight (she’s desperate to fight everyone).
That morning, it becomes clear that the Akane clan’s village is very much like Takagi-school san’s (if it were all female) in that it has a colorful cast of characters in various stages of teenhood.
There is a wide range of ages in Takagi-san art, with some girls making kiddy jokes about boys as if they were some kind of beast, while others, like Tsubaki, have a more complex curiosity about them. This is evident in the character designs of both elementary and middle school students.
She has recently been preoccupied with men, both in class and out on the grounds, and this is a distraction from training. Asagao Sazanka soon realizes that her big sister gets flustered whenever the word “man” is spoken. This is a disconcerting turn of events, given how frequently the word “man” is used in this episode.
To prove her point, Sazanka challenges Tsubaki to use her flame Jutsu while she whispers the word “man” in her ear to evaporate a large puddle of water. So Sazanka’s fears are put to rest when a crater is formed by Tsubaki’s flames.
Tsubaki, on the other hand, is looking forward to meeting a man. But she wants to meet one so badly, even if she has no idea why or what to say or do. Even though her family and friends have taught her that men are vicious savages, she persists.
One of Tsubaki’s inner voices tells her that there’s more to this world than just her village and that it might be beneficial to learn more about what lies beyond its boundaries.
