The manga centers on Eiko Satō, a 32-year-old woman whose first love was killed by monsters who came from another world. Now, Eiko puts her life on the line for revenge.
Yasohachi launched the Immortal Hounds (Shinazu no Ryōken) manga in the sixth issue of Harta in 2013, and ended it in November 2020.
