| Summary | Gusuko Budori leads a simple, joyful life in the bountiful Ihatov forest until a devastating famine shatters his world, costing him his family and leaving him utterly alone. Driven by a desperate need to survive and understand the cruelties of nature, young Budori embarks on an extraordinary journey. From back-breaking labor in a silk factory to toiling in marsh fields, he relentlessly pursues knowledge, eventually finding a mentor in the enigmatic Dr. Kubo. Budori dedicates his life to mastering the unpredictable forces of volcanoes and climate, striving to protect his beloved Ihatov from future disasters. But as a new, bitter cold threatens to plunge his world back into famine, Budori faces a choice: a sacrifice so profound it could change the fate of an entire land, yet demand an unimaginable personal cost. Can one man truly stand against the might of nature, and what price will he ultimately pay for the survival of others? |
