The company describes the story:
Set on the remote island nation of Arakam, where military might and faith stand as twin pillars of rule, this dark fantasy follows Yuzuki, a soldier consumed by a distorted sense of justice, and her fateful encounter with a wandering boy of unknown age who calls himself Furuoka.
Together, they are drawn into a story that blurs the line between conviction and madness.
Sasako self-publishes the manga and sold the physical edition on the Booth marketplace beginning on March 23.
Crossed Hearts is a global publisher of Japanese manga, Korean webcomics, and Asian novels. The company launched its official website in October. Pre-orders placed through the site guarantees access to Limited Editions at no additional cost, alongside purchase links to other major retailers.
