Characters
* Zero - A boy saved by Kurohime in his childhood. Over ten years, he trained and became a gunslinger. He uses 4 guns and is known for his incredible speed.
* Kurohime - A magician who fights using magical bullets. Ten years ago, she saves Zero, influencing his decision to become a gunslinger. She is very self-centered, and is said to not be able to genuinely love. As a result, she defied the gods and was cursed to walk the world as a child. She can only revert to her adult form when she falls in love. When a child, she is addressed as Himeko, and her magic powers are greatly hindered. The adult Kurohime bears a strong resemblance to the goddess that cursed her.
* Orimaru - A heavyset gunslinger in pursuit of Kurohime/Himeko. He was once her most loyal soldier and his back bears a large tattoo of the Kanji for 'Dog' and 'Kurohime.' Feeling betrayed by the selfish magician, he seeks to kill her now she has been stripped of her magical powers.
