STORY
The year is 2019—a year where two eras, Heisei and Reiwa, intersect.
In the Seto Inland Sea, the island of Sarubotoke has discreetly flourished as a den of prostitution ever since the war.
On one side is the Futatsuguri clan, the most influential family on the island that has been running its pleasure industry since the Showa era.
On the other is a motley group of four gathered from different corners of the underworld, each having crossed to the island for their own reasons.
And on both sides, a cursemonger—shamans who perform assassinations via cursecraft. The perfect crime in the modern age.
Set against the backdrop of this lawless island, a battle of wills unfolds.
And behind it all, a terrible curse as old as the war itself has been lurking in the shadows for 70 years.
CHARACTERS
Kan Togetsu
Voice: Uzuki Inari
Kan Togetsu is a rogue shaman hired by the Arai Group, who curses people to death for a living. This middle-aged man gives off a somewhat listless impression and adopts a cool and breezy attitude. He seems to have had some kind of connection to the Futatsuguri family, but he refuses to speak much about his past.
Shuzou Fuminari
Voice: Nikoichi
Shuzou Fuminari is a shaman allied with the Futatsuguri family, who curses people to death for a living. This forty-something man is rather sarcastic and speaks with a cynical tone and attitude. Although it has been several decades since he lost his childhood teacher Enju, he is unable to let her go.
Tamayo Futatsuguri
Voice: Murasaki Fujino
Tamayo Futatsuguri is the next in line to succeed the Futatsuguri family—the island’s wealthy but cursed bloodline. This young lady is wise and compassionate, and she manages the household in place of aging, bedridden father, Yoshinobu. Even so, she holds a distaste for the ill fates that revolve around her bloodline and curses in general.
Shinobu Higa
Voice: Tokio Aoi
Shinobu Higa is a freelance hitman hired by the Arai Group to cross over to Sarubotoke to achieve a certain objective. This woman is a dangerous maverick, but hides a gentle heart deep inside. Tattooed on her back is the image of a hellish oni, but its origin remains a mystery.
Himena Iguchi
Voice: Minami Imaya
Himena Iguchi is the most sought-after escort in King’s Castle, a brothel in Sarubotoke’s red-light district. She came to the island from Tokyo, hearing rumors of lucrative pay. While relaxed and easygoing, her gorgeous looks and stunning figure never fail to turn heads.
Kano
Voice: Tabeko Watame
Kano is one of the four who cross over to Sarubotoke to achieve a certain objective.
Her current “guardian” is Zenjiro Arai, who she affectionately refers to as “Uncle”.
