In the future of 2088 Japan entered another era of regional rivalry, this time between the 5 prideful regions of Chugoku, Kansai, Chūbu, Hokuriku, and Kanto.
Each region is ruled by a single mysterious, yet incredibly powerful person, a Daimyo. Each Diamyo also has an heir to aid them, but also to pass on the role once the time comes. Nobody knows the names of those ruling, so they tend to be called nicknames, designated by their iconic symbols attatched to their swords.
A young man named Xion Mizuno has had a difficult time finding his place in this troubling country. Given his situation, it's hard to believe he'll ever amount to anything or escape his small capsul, but there is hope, and luckily for him, things are at least about to get a little more exciting with the help of one single blade that aids the adventure ahead.
Each of the locations is roughly the same as current day Japan, but if you'd like to follow along you can reference the cover and it's corresponding colors.
Chugoku (Red), Kansai (Orange), Chūbu (Blue), Hokuriku (Black), Kanto (Green).
Thanks to @toad_snow (on twitter) for creating this really colorful cover!
This story was created for the MAL X Honeyfeed Writing Contest of 2022. Inspired by a lot of my favorite anime and manga, I think you'll want to stick with me until the end. It should be updated about once or twice a week.
Thanks for visiting! I'll reply to any comments/questions if you add them!
