She is far more competent than she looks

A now-defunct fantasy/humor Webcomic about Bunny, an assassin-for-hire in a mash-up of feudal Japan and Ancient China. Hired by Lord Farnalan (when his own personal Ninjas failed) to kill the Head Clan of the Asaki Clan.

Things go well at first, until Wolf Fang enters the picture. Then things go down to hell, becoming embroiled in a war with spirits? and the journey to found some kind of... pearl?. It's confusing, mainly because the story is told from her point of view and she tends to fall asleep during the long boring speeches.

She wears a pair of bunny ears and a fluffy tail on the back of her skirt, oh and no underwear. While it could be considered SFW, it's very heavy in blood and doesn't pull punches in the most brutal deaths.

The story ended abruptly in March 2016; the site itself disappeared between December 2017 and February 2018. A Wayback Machine archive can be found here.

Not to be confused with Blade Kitten.

Tropes used in Blade Bunny include:

• Action Girl: Bunny herself.
• Affably Evil: Bunny, beside her figure and snarkiness, she is pretty much a complete sociopath with no sense of guilt whatsoever.
• A Form You Are Comfortable With: Played for laughs when Bunny expresses disgust for being stared at by a big gooey dragon's eyeball that is bigger than she is. The dragon then voluntarily shrinks down small enough to punch out.
• Anachronism Stew: This is a setting done in a mash up of Ancient Japan and China, with: Kimonos, Ninjas, Samurais, Daimyos, Onis, Kamis, 4 Great Gods and the Celestial Bureaucracy. It also posses Cyborgs, Automatic weapons, laser beams and leg jets.

Bunny: No offense, by the way. You are really horrific and I would be totally freaked out by you if I wasn't running from a dragon Random Passerby: What a polite girl.
