Japan's "Samurai City" is a short and scenic train trip from Tokyo's TOBU Asakusa Station. This place of warriors, Japanese sake and good food is called Aizu Wakamatsu located in west Fukushima. It's the focus of my cringe-worthy spy story filled with deception and total mayhem.

Aizu Wakamatsu is famous for NAGINATA, a martial art using a weapon of long sticks with blades! That's why I'm here ? to learn a new skill from a bunch of old ladies who are vicious with their Naginata. I should say ? deadly!

Adding Naginata to my repertoire of deadly assault moves is my challenge but "the Agent" from the Underworld is in my way.
At every turn, the Agent is there to try and harm me.
Brainwashing. Poison. Pure evil. That's the Agent's game.
Thankfully I have Wakamattsun - a 30 centimeter samurai and area mascot on my side to help me out of tough spots, and I seem to get in tough spots a lot.
PS: THE ENDING is epic. Meet the mastermind himself.
