Alternate History 1969. After the victory of the Axis Powers, the Empire of Japan turned from a rising militaristic nation to the colonial superpower. Such rapid change doesn't come without the price, however - now, Japan is involved in a 4-way Cold War against Germany, USA and a resurging Soviet Union. Two years ago a rebellion started in a nation of Free India, an ally of Japanese. It would soon escalate into the massive proxy civil war between Japan and the rest of the world.
    
    The story is about two Japanese soldiers who got involved in this conflict. Two total opposites, who view this war from different perspectives. An idealistic medic Yumiko Ryuugu, and a selfish marine Magane Kuroimi. Will they overcome their differences to get a chance to survive in this pointless, unjust war? Or they will finally succumb to the darkness in their hearts in this wilderness, and realise that there is no way they can allow each other to live?
