Bunny(also known as "Hare")is a lean ninja girl who happens to wear a pair of costume bunny ears. She gets hired to take out a wealthy lord, but is chased by the robotic assassin called Wolf Fang. She's rescued by the dragon Ao-Lung, and Bunny is then tasked to recover a mystical pearl. Bunny heads out with the dragon's pupil, the slinky Kyoto who has some supernatural moves of her own. After ditching a robot gunslinger, the two ladies arrive at the temple where the pearl was kept. They encounter the youth Jin who seems to be under the care of the temple monks, but is really this important immortal that currently has the pearl when everyone else but Bunny figured out where the pearl was. The electric cowboy rejoins them after failing to impersonate the head monk, and a handsome guy Bunny had her eye on turns out to be possessed by a demonic spirit that wishes to corrupt Jin's immortality.
The series was split into two volumes, 5 issues in the first and 11 in the next. This is slightly done because the first volume seems like a clean cut first entry in an anime series, while the second volume trails off into more of a character introspective with the supporting cast. The strange curve comes from Bunny's bizarre ability to know that the world she lives in is actually fictional, sort of like Deadpool but using her insight to further the plot. There's even a part where Bunny is thought to be killed off, so Kyoto dreams up a ghost version of her to give her advice until the real Bunny reappears. It can become an almost Douglas Adams-type of storytelling mixing in with a Go Nagai inspired manga.
