~Middle Child of the Shogunate~
"The Land of the Samurai." That is what our country was called long ago. The skies of Edo, where samurai once gazed up and dreamt, are now filled with the ships of aliens. The streets where samurai once walked with pride are now strutted upon by arrogant extraterrestrials. Twenty years ago, the "Amanto"—aliens from afar—suddenly descended upon Edo. With their rise, the samurai have continued to weaken, living in a world under the Sword Abolition Edict.
