Baikoku Kikan

Set against the volatile political landscape of the early twentieth century, a modest republic finds itself caught in a perilous geopolitical struggle. Wedged between an ambitious kingdom and a sprawling empire, the small nation is treated as little more than a pawn, with both neighboring powers scheming to manipulate its sovereignty for their own strategic gain. Facing threats from every direction, the republic’s survival hangs by a thread as it navigates a treacherous era defined by shifting alliances and looming wars. To safeguard its fragile independence from the encroaching influence of these rival states, the republic establishes a clandestine military unit tasked with maintaining absolute internal stability. This specialized group of soldiers operates under a ruthless mandate: to suppress any form of revolution or dissent by any means necessary, ensuring that no domestic uprising can be exploited by foreign adversaries. Operating in the shadows to protect the nation from tearing itself apart, this elite force is known only as the Opera House. Their story explores the heavy cost of preserving a nation's freedom through uncompromising methods.
