Synopsis
Two childhood friends clash when one's snake-killing quest for immortality spirals into a violent, life-altering battle.
The manga centers on two friends Momo and Tatsu. When Momo lost his way and encountered dangerous snakes in the mountain as a kid, it was Tatsu who rescued him. After the incident, Tatsu becomes obsessed with the idea of being immortal, and he believes that killing a large number of snakes will give him immortality. Despite being treated a "weirdo" by everyone, Momo keeps on looking after Tatsu. But after one wrong word said, the two friends get into a fierce conflict, and throw themselves into a surprising battle, leaving their families and normal everyday lives behind. (Source: ANN)
