Devil of the Moon

Japan, 1871. A few years have gone by after the nation underwent a drastic historical change. The age of warriors has faded into the tides of the past and a new age is at its birth.

Daisuke Hisakawa, a former samurai, now wanders as a traveler across the terrain of Japan. He wants to rid himself of his horrid past. Yet, he still clings to his sword and has become distrustful of everyone around him.

Hikaru Takenaka is the daughter of a farmer. She lives with her family in a quiet village on the outskirts of Kyoto, away from the hustle of urban life. She is bound to marry one of the Imperial Army's finest officers, but his true side turns her away from him.

One day, Hikaru stumbles upon a worn out Daisuke on a path to a Shinto shrine, under a torii. She takes him into her care, and soon the life of a stranger turns into a life to protect.
