Hi Izuru Tokoro no Tenshi

Set against the backdrop of sixth- and seventh-century Japan, *Hi Izuru Tokoro no Tenshi* reimagines the life of Prince Shoutoku Taishi, the historical figure credited with uniting the nation under a centralized imperial government between 574 and 622 AD. In this manga, he is known by his birth name, Umayado. Far from a traditional hero, Umayado is portrayed as a chillingly detached politician and mystic who navigates the treacherous landscape of ancient Japanese politics with absolute precision. Armed with striking physical beauty and a cunning intellect, he effortlessly manipulates those around him to secure power and shape the future of the country according to his own calculated designs. Yet, beneath his composed and ruthless exterior lies a single, profound vulnerability. Umayado finds himself hopelessly drawn to Emishi, the son of an affluent and influential family. This intense attraction threatens to unravel the prince's carefully constructed facade. As Umayado continues to orchestrate political maneuvers and wield his mystical influence, his obsession with Emishi introduces a dangerous complication, forcing a master strategist to confront the one element he cannot control—his own heart.
