This series is actually the third in a collection of related series... starting with Julin and then Shaolin Sisters, both of which I suggest you read before this series!

The Misumi sisters: Julin, Kalin, and Seilin are introduced in this series as schoolgirls without their parents, who are abroad. Selin is the older sister, followed by Kalin and then Julin. The main character of this volume is Julin.

In volume one, the awakening of sister Julin is followed most intently. The sisters are actually reincarnated warriors from the past and they have been brought to this world to balance the good and evil. Their enemies are the White Lotus Clan; comprised of the men Nini, Sanji, Shino, and their lady leader Bai Wang who hasn't been released to her corporeal state.

Julin is given a bell in which her powers are awakened and her past life is revealed. She also has a mysterious protector who is always there to assist her. Julin takes to her new powers very easily and battles various members from the Clan.

I highly suggest this intense and fast moving series. The characters are realistic and one is drawn to them through that. I enjoyed the dark art (literally, the pages are DARK) and the very excellent drawing ability of the artist! ( )
