Tomo

Student by day, Ninja at night!

Hana would be like any other thirteen-year-old immigrant trying to fit into life at an American school, but she also battles hostile, animal-like warriors from the dimension of Argon Falls. In discovering secrets about her identity and her past, Hana bravely faces her enemies and realizes her divinely given purpose. Along the way she is tutored by her grandfather sensei, as well as by a shape-shifting creature named Tomo.
