Storyline

Anime events unfold in the early twentieth century in Japan during the Taisho era, which in Japanese means “great justice” (1912 – 1926). It is during this historical period of the First World War, the aggravation of the conflict with China and the beginning of the conflict with the USSR.

In the courtyard of 1923. Hiiragi Kyochiro is a young cadet who came to Tokyo to study at the university and return to his small village as a literate person. But he has to take off his rose-colored glasses and face the harsh reality of army military life, greed, the thirst for power … Because somebody already dreams of using Kyochiro and his abilities (by the way, the hero is able to see spirits) for his own purposes! Conspiracies at the court are becoming more and more intense, and the future of the Japanese empire is slowly beginning to change …

Basic Characters

• Kyochiro Hiiragi is the main character, a young guy who is going to conquer the capital from the Japanese province. Young, but in comparison with his peers thinks in an adult way, judiciously and tries not to commit rash acts. He is full of good intentions and inherently quite soft and good-natured. During his trip to Tokyo, he makes up a family heirloom – a sword that is handed down to the family of Hiiragi by heredity.
• Misaki is a mysterious long-haired man who asks Kyochiro not to participate in armed dismantlings. Misaki is not his real name. Usually appears when Kyochiro needs help.
• Shigure – formerly served in the army, but was expelled from her ranks. He is against the army, because of what is interested in Kyochiro.
• Iori Senge is an officer who plans to use evil spirits for the country’s purposes, so he is interested in Kyochiro, who is able to see the supernatural. Very cruel man.
• Kai Tateybayashi – commander of the imperial army. Just like Kyochiro is able to see ghosts. Does everything to protect the country, so he believes that the victims in this case can not be avoided. Brave, strong spirit and strong man.
• Kahoru Ise and Kaoru Ise are twin brothers subordinate to Tatebaii. The older brother, Kahoru, worries about the younger and completely depends on him. Earlier, being completely healthy, I wore a blindfold on my eye to support my brother morally, but I had to take it off because they were all mixed up. The youngest, Kaoru, always acts in concert with his older brother, but is more cruel than that of Kahor. He lost his eye because of the explosion, wears a bandage.
• Yuma is a large, short-spoken man with an unflappable face. Previously, he collaborated with Shigure, but then moved to the detachment of Tatebayashi, because of which Shigure and his associates consider him a traitor. Hume is worried because he joined the detachment of Tatebayashi for the sake of a good goal: to help him find the souls of lost comrades and best friend.
