Senran Kagura (Japanese: 閃乱カグラ) is a multimedia franchise created by Kenichiro Takaki and developed primarily by Tamsoft and Marvelous.

[1] The Senran Kagura games are primarily action hack and slash titles where players control one of several characters in combat missions against enemy shinobi or supernatural foes.

While the narrative often explores themes of friendship, rivalry, and self-discovery, it is also known for its over-the-top action, comedic elements, and a high emphasis on fan service, particularly through its character designs and interactions.

[citation needed] The game was released in North America, Europe, and Australia via digital and limited physical copies in August through September 2015.

[11] Augmented reality functionality was also included in the game, allowing players to pose the playable characters against a real-life background.

[11] The sequel improved on the original, by enhancing breast physics and clothing destruction, introducing the first playable male character, and allowing for pair battles.

The game takes advantage of the Joy-Con's "HD Rumble" feature, allowing players to receive feedback from jiggle physics.

New Link also includes guest-starring characters from other series, such as Dead or Alive (in addition of Kasumi and Tamaki), Ikki Tousen (in addition of Cho’un Shinryu and Sonken Chūbou), SNK series (Mai Shiranui, Athena Asamiya, Leona Heidern and Kula Diamond), Queen's Blade (Leina, Airi, Elina, Tomoe, Shizuka and Alleyne), High School DxD (Rias Gremory, Akeno Himejima, Koneko Toujou, Rossweisse, Xenovia, Irina, and Asia Argento), Hyakka Ryōran: Samurai Girls (Jūbei Yagyū, Kanetsugu Naoe, Sen Tokugawa and Yukimura Sanada), To Love Ru (Lala, Yami, Momo, Yui Kotegawa, Mea and Haruna Sairenji), DanMachi (Hestia, Ais & Ryū) and Neptunia series (Purple Heart and White Heart).

The main adaptation, written by Kenichirō Takaki and illustrated by Amami Takatsume, began serialization in Media Factory's Monthly Comic Alive magazine from August 27, 2011.

[43] Senran Kagura: Guren no Uroboros, illustrated by Manabu Aoi, began serialization in Ichijinsha's Comic Rex magazine from September 27, 2011.

[44] The opening theme, "Break Your World", was performed by Sayaka Sasaki; the ending themes include "Fighting Dreamer" (episode 1–3 and 8) by Hitomi Harada, Asami Imai, Yū Kobayashi, Kaori Mizuhashi and Yuka Iguchi, "Yamiyo wa Otome wo Hana ni Suru" (闇夜は乙女を花にする, The Flowers of the Girls of the Night) (episode 4-6 and 9) by Eri Kitamura, Ai Kayano, Ryōko Shiraishi, Saori Gotō and Megumi Toyoguchi, and "Shissōron" (疾走論, Theory Sprint) (episode 7 and 10-12) by Hitomi Harada.

[citation needed] The anime is licensed in North America by Funimation Entertainment, who streamed it as it aired and released it on home video in 2014.
