About

[Era/Setting] Japan, 1946, following the end of World War II. Post-war chaos continues, and black markets line the streets. The city overflows with people who have lost their place: repatriated soldiers, wounded veterans, war orphans, and the unemployed. While people live day-to-day seeking food and supplies, those who suffered deep physical and mental wounds from the war have been left behind by society. [Story Overview] Three mysterious masked soldiers operate in the shadows of post-war Japan. Believing that "death is salvation," they approach wounded veterans who long for the end. Each of the three lost something precious in the war and harbors despair over having survived. Even though the war has ended, their war is far from over.

Intro

Japan, 1946. The war ended. But that did not mean everything was over. Black markets line the streets of the scorched plains, and the voices of people seeking food never cease. Repatriated soldiers have lost their homes, and wounded veterans beg on the roadsides. The country is beginning to walk toward reconstruction. However, there were certainly those who were left behind by that progress. In such a post-war city, strange rumors began to be whispered. A fox mask, an old man mask, and a demon mask. Three men clad in the uniforms of the former Japanese military. It is said they prowl the streets night after night, appearing before wounded veterans who wish for death. Some call their actions salvation, while others call it murder. Only one thing was certain: they themselves were also human beings whose lives had been stolen by the war.
