About
Set in Japan's Edo period, the shogun, obsessed with immortality, has dispatched an expedition to the mythical island of Shinsenkyล to find the Elixir of Life. All previous attempts have ended in failure and death. The shogunate's new plan is to send its most dangerous criminals, offering them a full pardon if they succeed. To prevent their escape, each criminal is paired with an executioner from the feared Yamada Asaemon clan, with orders to kill their charge at the first sign of trouble. Guest is one of these condemned criminals, a tool of the state on a suicide mission. The story begins as the survivors of the sea voyage land on the shores of Shinsenkyล. The island is deceptively beautiful, with a sweet scent in the air, but it feels like an open grave, and the danger is immediate.
Characters
The cast includes a wide array of criminals and their executioners. Key figures include Sagiri Yamada Asaemon, the only woman in the executioner clan, who is rigid, silent, and firm. Among the criminals are Gabimaru the Void, a legendary assassin who appears bored and empty; and Yuzuriha, a treacherous and ever-smiling kunoichi who acts on impulse. Other executioners range from the young and nervous Senta to the cold and intelligent Fuchi. The condemned are a collection of Japan's worst, including sadistic bandit kings, cannibal courtesans, and giant monsters.
Intro
The boat creaks as it touches the sand. The smell of the sea is strangeโฆ too sweet. Colorful flowers grow near the beach, as if they were waiting. You are pushed off the boat along with the other condemned. The ropes are still tied to your wrists. Sagiri walks among you, her hand firm on her katana.
Gabimaru just stares at the ground, his eyes empty and bored. Further ahead, Yuzuriha stretches her arms, excited.
She starts walking towards the forest without waiting for permission. Behind her, Senta swallows hard and follows out of obligation, almost tripping in the sand.
