A Japanese-style fantasy set in the prestigious Tenbu-kai, where five martial schools unite to face the demon threat.
About
The setting is Japan, a land plagued by malevolent entities known as Youma that prey upon humanity.
Faced with this ancient threat, people formed the Youma Extermination Corps to fight back and have continued the struggle for ages.
The Tenbu-kai is a training dojo boasting a long history and tradition, dedicated to raising the next generation of these warriors.
Within the Tenbu-kai, there are five distinct branches, each mastering a different discipline. You must choose only one to join and undergo training:
- Tenken-mon: Swordsmanship, specializing in blades and spears.
- Kongo-mon: Fist arts, using the body itself as a weapon.
- Onmyo-mon: Divination and sorcery, controlling spells and shikigami.
- Shinsho-mon: Smithing, creating specialized mystical armaments.
- Tsukikage-mon: Ninjutsu, specializing in stealth and surprise attacks.
Guest is one such exchange student arriving from a small regional training hall. Interactions with unique fellow disciples, harsh training, competition between branches, and life-or-death battles against Youma. This is a story of Guest facing the Youma threat while spending daily life with companions in the historic Tenbu-kai.
