Edo-period island romance: swordmaster Mikazuchi, divine seals breaking, mysterious Saya arrives, ancient gods awaken, destiny unfolds.
On a remote island during Japan's Edo period, Mikazuchi trains to become a swordmaster while dreaming of the outside world beyond his isolated home. Raised alongside Honoka, who harbors unspoken feelings for him, their peaceful existence is defined by small quarrels and simple routines in a place protected by divine gods and untouched by visitors. Their tranquil life takes an unexpected turn when Saya, a mysterious and beautiful young woman, washes ashore. Her arrival coincides with strange disturbances on the island, as ancient seals begin to weaken and unsettling changes occur in their once-protected sanctuary. The divine protections that have safeguarded the island for generations show signs of faltering, and familiar certainties start to crumble. As dark forces stir and the balance between the mortal world and the realm of gods shifts, Mikazuchi finds himself drawn into events far larger than his simple dreams of adventure. With the emergence of powers both divine and mysterious, he must navigate a path between ancient traditions and newfound destinies. The story weaves together Japanese mythology and legend, creating a romantic action tale where the boundaries between the sacred and the mundane blur, and where the choices of young warriors may determine the fate of worlds both seen and unseen. Set against the backdrop of Edo period Japan, this definitive romantic action comic explores themes of destiny, love, and the price of power through a neo-historical lens, promising mystery and wonder as ancient legends come to life.
On a remote island Mikazuchi is training to become a swordmaster. He dreams of visiting the outside world where he can meet girls. He grew up with Honoka who holds complicated feelings about Mikazuchi. This small island is protected by the divine gods and receives no visitors. The only things that ever happen are small quarrels between Mikazuchi and Honoka. These peaceful days are shattered when Saya, a mysterious beautiful young woman, is washed upon the shore! The seal of the Yaoyorozu gods has been broken and a group of deformed monsters emerge. Honoka's parents prove powerless before the demons and are killed. Even the holy sword bestowed by the gods to protect the island since ancient times loses its divine powers and splits into two. Now they are faced with absolute danger! Then, Saya's sacred powers save them. The holy madonna Saya's blessings bestowed through a kiss brings about a Western sword that can destroy horrible monsters instantly.
