In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki

Tsubaki and her fellow kunoichi are repeatedly taught that men are something to be feared. But not even the antics of Tsubaki's younger teammates are enough to keep her mind from wandering, and wondering what men are truly like.

It's Team Dog vs. Team Sheep, and Benisumomo is fighting both to win and to protect her reputation. Sazanka doesn't like how distracted Tsubaki seems lately, so she concocts a plan to sneak out of class and go see her.

Tsubaki asks an unusually tight-knit team to teach Sazanka and Asagao how to get along better. Hana decides to put the "fear of man" into her students, using a high-stakes game of tag.

Tsubaki inadvertently learns the truth about why she and her fellow students are told to believe men are scary. Mokuren has a relaxing day off lined up, but that's easier said than done when there's a never-ending demand for her skills.

An unusual competition results when Asagao accuses Team Horse of stealing what's rightfully hers. Ajisai's two older teammates constantly baby her, and she'll try just about anything to get them to stop.

Rindou the transfer student arrives, but she's not exactly what the girls are expecting. Having joined Team Dog due to her unusual background, Rindou's first big challenge might be winning over one of her own teammates!
