▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
with tensions high in fragmented japan, any sign of possible peace was clung
onto desperately not only by the humans but also their mortal enemies - the
yōkai. six noble beings from various backgrounds reveal that they have been
marked with the sun goddess amaterasu's seal and must meet their destinies.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

while these six stand as a symbol for peace, it's difficult to overlook the crimes
plaguing everyone's pasts. instead of uniting the country, it seems as if their
gathering will spark the war everyone has feared rather than stop it. will the
six heroes manage to bring harmony to japan or bring its ultimate downfall?
