Synopsis
The time is the 64th year of the Meiji era.
The stage is set in another Japan where Tokugawa Yoshinobu continues to hold absolute power. The nation has developed its own energy source, the "dragon vein," and achieved a unique development in which science and the Edo period blend. However, behind such a beautiful city, the dissident Kuchinawa organization, fanning the flames of revolution and seeking to overthrow the government, is stirring. "Nue," the shadowy organization of the Tokugawa government, has been tasked with extermination. Sakiha Yukimura, whose family was murdered when she was young, became "Nue's" executioner and continued to search for its snake eyes.
