    Synopsis:

    Set against the backdrop of Meiji-era Japan, where the samurai class has been dismantled and swords outlawed, this series explores a society grappling with upheaval. The government’s response to rising unrest involves a massive prison constructed on Lake Biwa, overseen by a dedicated police force.

    The narrative follows Tenka Kumou and his siblings, who navigate a seemingly ordinary life as ferrymen to the prison alongside their former Fuma ninja mentor. This peaceful existence is disrupted by whispers of the Orochi curse – a recurring legend foretelling impending disaster through the reincarnation of a powerful entity. As factions converge seeking to either contain or exploit this phenomenon, the Kumou family finds themselves increasingly drawn into a complex web of political intrigue and supernatural forces. The story blends elements of historical setting with unfolding mystery and character-driven dynamics.
