Tougen Anki

Ichinose Shiki grew up like any ordinary boy, completely unaware of the volatile heritage coursing through his veins. Adopted and raised in quiet obscurity, he never questioned his normal life—until the night a ruthless assassin shattered his peaceful existence by breaking into his home with the sole intent of ending his life. Cornered and desperate, Shiki is saved only by the desperate intervention of his foster father, who can no longer keep the truth buried. In a shocking revelation, Shiki learns that he is a descendant of the Oni—a race of beings locked in an ancient, bitter blood feud with the Momotarou, their sworn enemies who have hunted them across generations. Born into a world where these two factions have never known peace, coexistence is nothing more than a forgotten myth. Yet Shiki refuses to accept the cycle of hatred that has defined his lineage. Armed with the awakening power of his Oni blood and the weight of his dual identity, he makes a perilous choice: rather than submit to the endless war, he will carve his own path toward reconciliation. But unity is not won through ideals alone; it demands overwhelming strength, impossible compromises, and the courage to stand against both sides who would see the other exterminated. As enemies close in from every shadow and old grudges ignite into new violence, Ichinose Shiki embarks on a brutal struggle for power—one that will determine whether the two races can ever truly stand together, or if their ancient enmity will consume them all.
