Yoake Shiro

Midorimaru is a prince known more for his rough, unrefined nature than for any royal grace. His life takes a dramatic turn when he becomes entangled in the clandestine schemes orchestrated by his own father. Shortly after uncovering these hidden machinations, the young prince crosses paths with Tae, a humble schoolteacher of peasant origins whose presence introduces him to a world far removed from the palace walls. As the looming shadow of war begins to engulf the land, the resulting turmoil spares no one, regardless of their station or allegiance. The escalating conflict weaves together the fates of unlikely individuals, profoundly affecting Yayoi, a beautiful woman of noble birth, as well as a ninja operating on the side of the enemy. Bound by the approaching chaos, their lives intersect in ways that defy all expectations. What begins as a prince's discovery of his father's secrets soon spirals into an unpredictable chain of events, reshaping destinies and forging connections that no one could have ever anticipated.
