Synopsis
Anthropology professor Munakata uncovers real historical events behind folklore and fairy tales through academic investigation.
Munakata is an anthropology professor that studies the relationship between folklore or fairy tales and real historical events. He believes that many of these stories that most presume to be entirely fictional are actually based on real events. This manga tells the story of Professor Munakata as he follows the clues left from both the imaginary world of fairy tales and the real world historical evidence. (Source: BakaUpdates).
