Synopsis of Yatagarasu anime

In a fascinating alternate universe ruled by the Yatagarasu clan, whose members possess the power to transform into ravens, we follow Yukiya, the second son of a regional leader of the House of the North. Overwhelmed in intelligence by his younger brother and not very good at sword fighting, Yukiya finds herself chosen, against all odds, to serve the Prince Imperial at court. This unexpected appointment for a boy with no apparent ambition marks the beginning of a tumultuous adventure.

Immersed in the twists and turns of the imperial court, Yukiya and her young master find themselves confronted with a tangle of plots, assassinations, a mysterious drug, and an invasion by an unsuspected enemy.
