Synopsis:

In a cosmos dotted with worlds linked by prophecy, visions guide Jeanne Kaguya d'Arc and Leonardo da Vinci across the vast expanse to the planet East Star. They find themselves amidst the ambitions of Nobunaga Oda, a young leader driven by vengeance following his clan’s defeat. Jeanne believes him to be the prophesied King of Salvation, forging a bond with Nobunaga and his companions. However, their burgeoning alliance is threatened by the arrival of forces from West Star, led by King Arthur and his formidable general, Gaius Julius Caesar, seeking a powerful artifact known as the Holy Grail. As conflict escalates, the narrative explores themes of leadership, faith, and the burden of destiny, set against a backdrop of technological innovation and feudal warfare. The story follows Nobunaga's struggle to unite his people while confronting difficult choices and overcoming personal tragedies in the face of overwhelming odds.
