There is a legend that speaks of a powerful sword hidden and sealed in ‘Jagara-Mogara’. It is said that when the spirits of Light, Water, and Earth come together, the seal of this sword will be broken, and the sword will be immortalized. This is the sword of Susanoh. Upon pursuing the sword, Izumo, Kumaso, and Oguna arrive at the nation of Jagara, where they confront a darkness that envelops anyone seeking the sword of Susanoh, including these three who are destined to find it.

The first volume unfolds like the opening act of a play, setting up an epic plot and mysterious characters that, while not stepping outside the genre, bode very well for the rest of the series.
