Synopsis – Sword of the Demon Hunter

Over generations, in the mountainous village of Kadono, a shrine has stood, housing an Itsukihime, the priestess of the shrine, and each priestess has had its guardian. During the Edo period, a young man named Jinta protected the village and Itsukihime. When he confronts a strange demon in the forest, it reveals that in the future, a Demon God will threaten all people, all over the world, and claims that the rise of this Demon God originated in this time and place, in the village of Kadono.

This encounter takes Jinta on a journey through time, constantly confronting him with crucial questions: What does it mean to wield a sword? What does it mean to be a demon or to be human?

Thus begins the journey through the centuries of a man scarred by demons, seeking justice for what he has lost.
