Princess Rangiku lost her entire family to Lord Karimata, who invaded her home seeking her father’s life work, puppets with unique capabilities. As her duty, Rangiku sets out with three of her father’s greatest puppet warriors to seek revenge. She can manipulate these to battle the strongest of warriors, however manipulating the puppets leaves her own self vulnerable to direct attacks, so she seeks a ninja warrior named Manajiri to aid and protect her in her quest.

More a treat for fans of intense violence set in Japan's feudal period, this OVA breezes by pretty quickly with resolving its story involving the survivor of a feudal lord's attack who can manipulate puppets for combat. Between its subpar animation and little time to flesh things out with its plot and characters running at only 40 minutes, there's pretty limited rewatchability in Puppet Princess unless you crave the spectacle with its unique premise and the violence resulting from it.
