Synopsis
Teen follows crush into dimension where ancient Japan meets modern Tokyo, becoming key figure in legendary clan conflict.
Ebata Katsumi, a 16-year-old high school student, finds himself drawn into an extraordinary adventure when he follows his love interest Sakura into a mysterious dimension where ancient Japan collides with the modern world. In this strange realm where samurai clans still wield power and historical figures walk the streets of contemporary Tokyo, Katsumi becomes entangled in the timeless conflict between two legendary families. His uncanny resemblance to a pivotal historical figure thrusts him into a role he never asked for, forcing him to navigate the treacherous politics and warfare of a world that exists between past and present. As he struggles to find his place in this unfamiliar society, Katsumi must confront questions of identity, loyalty, and what it truly means to lead when the lines between history and destiny blur.
