Summary	In the heart of Edo Japan, young samurai Kagami Hanosuke hides a startling truth: he is a martial prodigy feigning foolishness to survive. But his carefully constructed life shatters when unsettling supernatural phenomena plague his world, and an ancient, terrifying curse begins to manifest on his very skin. Drawn into a shadowy realm of ancestral grudges and dark sorcery, Hanosuke discovers his true origins are far from human. He is a child of the wild mountains, heir to a blood-soaked, eternal feud between rival tribes and their mysterious "demon gods." Haunted by a vengeful spirit and driven by an insatiable, terrifying urge to kill, Hanosuke must navigate a treacherous path where human and supernatural forces collide, forever bound to an eternal, restless struggle.
