Volume #1: Goddess of the Dark Tower While attempting to retrieve a lost falcon for his feudal lord, bird handler Zushonosuke encounters and becomes irresistably drawn to Tomihime, the supernatural inhabitant of a cursed castle. As a forbidden love between a mortal and a long-forgotten goddess begins to take hold, the horrifying existence of "Forgotten Gods" who feed on humans is soon revealed, inevitably leading to a deadly clash between the shogun's army and the clan of Forgotten Gods. Amidst the escalating chaos, will Zushonosuke ultimately sacrifice his humanity for his love for Tomihime? Volume #2: Yotsuya Ghost Story Curses never die, but people do. In the Edo era of Japan, when cultural arts flourished and the samurai code of "bushido" emerged, humanity's fear of the supernatural was very real! Desiring to wed Lady Oiwa, an ambitious and calculating ronin named Iemon murders her father, who had opposed the marriage due to Iemon's treacherous past. As a masterless samurai, Iemon soon grows weary and resentful of his ailing wife Oiwa and their impoverished stature; however, when he is presented with an offer to marry a wealthy neighbor's beautiful granddaughter, Oiwa is duped into drinking a poison that horribly cripples her. The revelation of Iemon's betrayal as well as the painful disfigurement causes Oiwa to kill herself, setting into motion a nightmarish curse carried out by a terrifying, vengeful spirit seeking retribution! Volume #3: Goblin Cat Death has nine lives... In the Edo era of Japan, as cultural arts, modern science, and technology
flourished, so too did the practice of mystical arts, as humanity faced the
perils of the supernatural! In a village, at an old samurai residence, a young
bride is mysteriously and brutally murdered right before her wedding ceremony,
sending the family into a hysterical panic. An enigmatic medicine vendor
determines that this is the work of "the goblin cat," but more bizarre
incidents follow, as family members are killed off one-by-one by an unseen
attacker. Only the medicine vendor knows how to stop the goblin cat, but in
order to do so, he must uncover the connection between this creature and the
samurai family's deeply hidden, scandalous past! |
