Initially, the project started with side story shorts. Now, its main story is available to watch on YouTube. Sōno is responsible for the project’s original character designs. The concept focuses on the idea of “traditional fantasy battle x Japanese sword fighting.” It depicts the battles between evil-doing tengu, whom are mythological Japanese demons that often characterized with long noses and red faces, and the Tōbatsushi who slay them.
MyAnimeList describes the series as follows:
Akari Hinomiya is a boy who was raised on an island after being imbued with the spirit of Hajun, a heinous great demon who once threatened the world. He meets his eventual comrades, starts wielding a sword, and confronts an uncontrollable power within himself, all to confront his destined foe.
