Synopsis

Tokiyuki Houjou seeks to retake Kamakura after tragedy, evading pursuers while rebuilding his family with loyal retainers.

After the tragic events in Kamakura, Tokiyuki Houjou has overcome the worst and started restoring his noble family. His next goal is incredibly ambitious—retaking Kamakura, no matter the cost. However, achieving his goal proves difficult as the region goes through turbulent times while its people are exhausted from their uneasy lives. To make matters worse, some of the current rule's higher-ups are hot on Tokiyuki's trail and hope to expose him. But alongside his skilled and treasured retainers, Tokiyuki will do anything to rebuild his realm as he utilizes his elusiveness in both combat and speech.
