unnamedFollowing their release of Wagnaria!!2 and four standard edition releases just yesterday, Nippon Ichi Software America (NIS America) have announced that they are extending their range of anime acquisitions by acquiring the rights to Fusé: Memoirs of a Huntress.

This animated film is a story about a young huntress named Hamaji who moves to Edo and quickly finds herself mixed up in the struggle between a human/dog hybrid known as Shino and the Shogunate. As with many of their other recent releases, this will be available only as a Premium Edition initially – with the standard hardcover slipcase / artbook combo. This film will only be available on a single blu-ray disc, with no plans to release a DVD edition.

Fusé: Memoirs of a Huntress features direction by Masayuki Miyaji, and includes the voice talent of Minako Kotobuki as Hamaji, Mamoru Miyano as Shino, Kanako Miyamoto as Meido and Katsuyuki Konishi as Dousetsu. While release dates can change, Fusé: Memoirs of a Huntress is set for release on the 6th May 2014 at a MSRP of $49.99.

Storyline

Hamaji, a young huntress from the mountains, stumbles into the middle of a shogun’s vendetta against a group of human and dog hybrids, the Fusé. Rumors of Fusé murdering innocent people in the bustling city of Edo have sparked a bounty for their heads. Along with her brother, Hamaji joins the hunt for this dangerous quarry, but after accidentally befriending one of them, Hamaji is torn between two worlds: her life as a self-reliant huntress, and the young woman her new friend has helped her to uncover.
