SYNOPSIS

“I begged him over and over. To tell me stories about the beautiful island country in Asia.”
Gabriella’s world is turned upside down when she is involved in a nearly fatal bus accident while visiting her late father’s hometown in JPN. Barely alive, she undergoes a mysterious procedure that leaves her with cybernetic implants and an additional cybernetic brain called “Harugasumi”.
To make matters worse her grandmother is forcing her to do “rehabilitation” that strangely resembles ninja training. The next chapter of the Ninja World saga takes place in the near future in the quiet countryside of JPN.

From the Author

When I was writing this story, there were two songs in my head.
One is Sam Sparro's ”21st Century Life”.
Like that song, I didn't live the "ideal future life" imagined when I was a kid, and I'm still not optimistic about the future of Japan.
For me, writing the story of Ninja World JPN was also a journey to seek ”some kind of hope”.

The other is Milton Nascimento's ”Bridges (Travessia)”.
This is a song of a traveler crossing a number of bridges. Some of the bridges lead to the future, others to the past.
Other writers and I often used the word "division" when brainstorming on this project.
Compared to the past, modern people should have better communication tools, but they still can't understand each other..
When I was writing the draft, the image of building a bridge that connects people came to my mind. A few months later, when I wrote the lines for the final scene, the song came to my mind again, and I realized that it was what I wanted to write and that it was ”some kind of hope”.
I hope you enjoy this story.
