Until a few days ago Toshiro Toranaga was the leader of a fearless group of elite samurai. Now he is alone and on the run from shapeshifting Tengu demons. He only wishes to end this hell of a failure mission and get back to his family. Whoever tries to stop him, will meet the sharp end of his blade.
Kaneda Hachiman won´t live in the shadow of his heroic father and grandfather no more. He claims to be someone else each time he meets a stranger and tries to hide his incompetence and chubbyness behind stolen armor and fake history. Also, he owes money to some really dangerous people and they demand payback.
Both are outsiders and failures with a strong passion for life in a society fascinated with death.
