''Senran Kagura: Shojō-tachi no Shin'ei'' (Senran Kagura: Portrait of Girls) is a 3DS game by Marvelous Interactive.

''Senran Kagura: Shojō-tachi no Shin'ei'' (Senran Kagura: Portrait of Girls) is a 3DS game by Marvelous Interactive, and the first in a growing franchise; the most recent entry being ''Senran Kagura: Estival Versus'' for the [[Playstation 4]] and Playstation Vita in 2015.

According to the official information, it ~~will be~~ a side-scrolling brawler. The premise goes thus: Ninjas secretly exist even in this age, and there are those who employ them for nefarious purposes. To counter this, the government founded the Hanzō Academy in order to train female shinobi, or kunoichi.

But of course, most of the attention on the game comes from what it's ''really'' about: The gameplay [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JIOq9zybQs trailer] should fill you in on what it is. It's mild, but '''[[Not Safe for Work|don't watch it at work]]'''. Another, longer trailer is also available focusing on gameplay and showing more of the antagonists. The NSFW disclaimer still applies.

Over time, the gameplay have developed into a 3D brawler not unlike ''[[Dynasty Warriors]]'' while also incorporating [[Mood Whiplash]] and a growing amount of [[Fan Service]]. Manga adaptations and an anime have also been released.

The official site can be visited [http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/game/3ds/kagura/ here]; this one, on the other hand, is pretty safe aside from the intro sequence picture. [http://www.siliconera.com/2012/04/17/senran-kagura-burst-crimson-girls-lets-you-play-as-the-rival-ninjas/ A sequel has been confirmed to be in the works.]

The game and its subsequent sequels by Marvelous Interactive have also been released in Europe and North America.

Marvelous Entertainment is currently [http://nintendoeverything.com/index.php/73442/ working hard to bring this game to North America].
