What Haikara-san: Here Comes Miss Modern Part 1 is

Here's a film about a young woman who is very headstrong. Set in 1918, it follows the adventures of Benio Hanamura, who would rather practice kendo than learn how to be a proper wife. Love and war will both test her resolve. It's a fairly standard coming-of-age story, just with swords.
