Synopsis

A plot against the Tokugawa government threatens to plunge Edo into chaos, bringing calligrapher Shiro Sumiya back to defend the city. His mysterious opponent, Kokusengen, wields a giant brush whose characters take shape as monstrous creatures.

Meanwhile, Shiro's friend Shimaki and newcomer Ena follow their own clues toward an ominous temple. Their paths converge inside an enemy's carefully arranged trap, where mastery of ink and written forms must become a weapon against a gigantic beast.
