Tsuruhime Ja!

Synopsis

At the height of the popularity of delicate girls' manga with beautiful heroines, the main character is a dirty princess with a bald head and a hairpin, wearing a spiky kasuri kimono, and who doesn't wash her face and hates taking baths. The story is set in both Hagemasu Castle, where Tsuruhime lives with her father, the chief retainer, the maid Ine-san, and her pet vultures, and in Terakoya Elementary School, where she spends time with Ohana and other classmates and teachers.
