Akuma no Ran Table of Contents
The Legend in its entirety
Long ago, in days of yore there was a single maiden who purged the world of the heir of Orochi. She did this at great personal cost, and for it she was crowned Queen of Yamataikoku, she was Pimiko-den.
But now more than half a millennium has passed, and her descendants the Emperors of Yamatai, have sunk into corruption and banality. Their servants and regents are no less obsessed with court-intrigue and pleasure, little knowing of the great evil that has awakened once more in the north.
Revived, the ‘Akuma King’ has returned to a world that lacks the holy maiden’s protection, and after devastating the armies of the northern lord, Takimoto no Yoshinobu, he turns his gaze south determined to finish what he began eight centuries prior. The only hope lies with a single Samurai, a single man of low birth determined to turn back the tide, and resolved to avenge the death of his beloved Master.
