Description
There are bad days. There are worse days. And then there's his day. Kyoji's girlfriend cheats on him, breaks up with him, everything reminds him of her, and he manages to forget his keys at the bar he told the near omniscient bartender, Takamura, his woes. He meets another cute girl, Hatsumomo, who also happens to know said bartender, and it's not long before they become close. It takes even less time for her to be kidnapped, by the Japanese mafia, no less. Geez, will he ever catch a break? But what starts with a sudden kidnapping reveals to be so much more: a prophetic call to adventure that had been foretold ages before the heroes of this story came around. In a world where the only thing extraordinary is the amount of unengaging ordinariness, below the seemingly mundane surface lies an incredible, lavish secret world that not many are privy to. From Whisperers of Death, to Dragons, to Kabuki Creatures and ghoulish Zombies, those aware of this hidden reality have fantastical journeys and adventurous trials laying in wait for them. Some seek to rescue a kidnapped friend and distribute justice while keeping malevolent forces at bay. Others plot to eliminate the existence of those pesky do-gooders, plans of conquesting combat and corrupting those that stand in their way. Others still just happened to be caught up in the cross-fire, and they are NOT happy about it. Whatever actions they take and consequences they face, at the end of the day, the sword shall always be sheathed.
