    Synopsis:

    Set against the backdrop of Japan's turbulent Bakumatsu period, this series follows Yojiro Akizuki, a seasoned mercenary with a peculiar pursuit. While skilled in swordsmanship, Yojiro’s true focus lies in locating rare and powerful supernatural artifacts scattered across the country. His journeys are often fraught with danger, leaving a trail of conflict in his wake. Yojiro's path unexpectedly intersects with a nomadic theater troupe, whose seemingly artistic performances conceal a deeper, more secretive purpose. As Yojiro delves further into his quest, the lines between chance encounter and calculated manipulation begin to blur, hinting at a larger, potentially conspiratorial narrative woven into the fabric of the era. The story explores themes of ambition, hidden histories, and the cost of pursuing power in a rapidly changing world.
