Synopsis Tougen Anki
“You carry the blood of demons…” Long ago, the Oni and Momotaro bloodlines coexisted in conflict. The Oni, aware of their savage nature, lived in isolation until they were attacked by the Momotaro. Thus, the Momotaro Kikan and Oni Kikan organizations emerged, waging a war that has lasted for millennia. The protagonist, Shiki Ichinose, unexpectedly discovers he is an Oni after suffering a sudden attack from the Momotaro. But now, he will have to face the destiny of carrying the spirit of an Oni within him and confront intense challenges. A story of dark heroes begins here!
Therefore, the manga is written and illustrated by Yura Urushibara, and has been serialized in Akita Shoten's shōnen magazine since June 2020. Ultimately, the manga has surpassed 2.2 million copies sold across its 14 published volumes.
