Synopsis
Escaped sacrificial children must return to cursed island to stop Moon Princess before they die one by one.
On Kabuchi-jima, an island ruled by Princess Kaguya, ten children were raised as sacrificial victims. Several of the children thought they had escaped their fate when they escaped the island. But nearly a decade later, the kids are still dying in the order and at the time they would have as sacrifices... Their only hope now is to reunite and return to the island to seek out and destroy the source—the legend, the blood-lusting Moon Princess—before time runs out.
