Description

In the early stages of the Edo period, Kayo lives with her father in a food & tea house. One day, she was asked by the Princess of Sunpu Castellan for an odd favor. Because they are splitting images of each other, she was asked to take her place in a marriage promenade…

Bewildered, but with her mind set, Kayo departs on a journey from Tokaido region with six samurai for bodyguards on a marriage promenade to Edo, Hakone, Mishima, up till the destination in Sunpu.

On the way towards Edo, she becomes caught up in youkai with destructive abilities, as well as the ‘Sword Retrieving Imperial Match’ that concerns the legendary five great swords, which is really a cover for a sickening ritual being performed…

Through the crisscrossing and intertwining of paths, finally the road splits into two: One, living with the sword in the path of war. Two, living with you in the path of peace.

The destiny they find their way through to is…?

Description

A merchant’s daughter from Edo, Musashi Province. She runs a small restaurant with her father near the castle, but due to the cold weather and crop failures, their business is in a severe condition. Influenced by her deceased mother, she learned how to fight with a naginata—Buko-ryu Naginata-jutsu. Even though she’s a woman, she understands the samurai heart.

One day, a Tokugawa samurai gave her a very important request. It’s a request for Kayo to become a fake bride and attend a mass wedding all the way to Sunpu, in place of a princess. Apparently Kayo and the wife of the Castellan of Sunpu—Hisahime—look exactly alike.

If she refuses, they might not be able to continue running a restaurant. Kayo’s decision is…

Birthplace: Kibi Province
Sword: Raikiri & Kazakiri

A samurai who wields dual swords. He came to Edo from Kibi Province, in order to join the Imperial Tournament of Sword Retrieval and win the Five Heavenly Swords. He makes a living by working as a roundsman, protecting Edo’s security. He’s aggressive and has a bad mouth. He’s also clumsy, in the sense that he can’t be honest to the people he doesn’t respect. However, he’s actually a kind man who will turn protective upon getting relied on.

A hidden Christian from Hizen Province. He lost his mother when he was small, and he was taken in by a Dutch merchant. He spent his childhood in a Dutch company in Hirato.

Description

Birthplace: Musashi Province
Sword: Housenka
Style: Self-taught

A samurai with medical knowledge who grew up with a youkai. Right after he was born, he was thrown away to Takao Mountain as his parents couldn’t afford to feed more children. He was taken in by Karula—a tengu who lives in the mountain—who taught him both swordsmanship and medics. He came to Edo in order to find his dream. He’s honest, cheerful and innocent like a child, but due to his innocence, he won’t ever give up on fixing things he judged as wrong. Since he’s inexperienced and doesn’t know much about the world, he tends to cause quarrels with the government officials.
