The Immortal Ninja: Shigure
Three hundred years ago, a human named “Yasha” slaughtered demons, causing nightmares for the demon world under the Blood Moon. With the vanishing of “Yasha,” the Blood Moon ended, and a delicate balance was achieved between humans and demons. However, three hundred years later, the balance is shattered as vicious demons raid the Ninja Village. Shigure embarks on a journey due to the unusual actions of the demons and the disappearance of her master.
The Oni Emissary: Sara
Since the beginning of time, Inferno’s Oni Emissaries and Celestial Realm’s Okami have competed for resources in the human world, maintaining a balance between heaven and hell. With the arrival of the next Okami foretold by prophecy, the balance is about to be disrupted, and the three states hold their breath in anticipation. To improve her work performance, Sara sets out on a journey to find this Okami.
The Demon Samurai: Taketora
Legend has it that whoever obtains “The Cosmic Lord” can rule the world. When this rumor spread, it caused a stir. Today, “The Cosmic Lord” is born in human form within the home of the lord of the Konpeki Realm, prompting the nine-tailed army to launch an attack, plunging the world back into chaos. Taketora fights to protect his lord but finds himself trapped in a cycle of demonic spells…
