Synopsis
Mysterious "Son of Shaka" arrives in Shogidani Village, spreading corruption and evil through his deceptive "hand of love."
Who is he? Where did he come from? What did he come to do? A man bearing the moniker "the Son of Shaka" comes by the peaceful, quiet Shogidani Village. Followed by a trio of triplet sisters, his agenda is unknown, but he quickly gains a good reputation within the village... He doesn't matter much to the village boy Tomeo, though, who is threatened with separation with his girlfriend, Seiko, and ever-persistent advances by the pesky Aoki. That is, until Seiko starts to feel swayed by the Son of Shaka's aid, his 'hand of love'. Tomeo's concern isn't just petty jealousy, though—the Son of Shaka's intent points to a certain direction.... George Akiyama presents a chaotic thriller of a close-knit village being stricken with corruption, calamity, and absolute evil. (Source: MU)
