Synopsis:

In the realm of Amawakuni, Arata’s life of privilege is irrevocably altered by a succession crisis within the Hime clan. Unexpectedly revealed as the last viable heir – a secret concealed since childhood – Arata finds himself thrust into a political intrigue far beyond his comprehension. Following a shocking assassination attempt on the princess, he is wrongly accused and forced to flee into the mysterious Kando forest, a place rumored to fundamentally change those who enter.

Simultaneously, Arata Hinohara, burdened by personal struggles in modern Japan, experiences a bizarre dimensional shift, finding himself inhabiting the body of his counterpart in Amawakuni. Now possessing the power of a "Sho," wielder of divine weaponry, he must navigate this unfamiliar world and unravel a conspiracy that threatens to destabilize its delicate balance. The story explores themes of identity, destiny, and the consequences of inherited roles as Arata struggles to reclaim his honor and uncover the truth behind his new reality.
