Overview

A melody of miko, born of light- The prayer of shinobi, who survive through the dark. Bound by the irresistible bloodline of the Sanada, they race across a wilderness of deception, leaving no trace of their tears. Upon the windswept peaks of Iwabitsu, what do the stars of the Rokumon behold? Step into the hidden world of the Nonō-where sacred spirit-channeling meets high-stakes espionage. The year is 1582. The once-mighty House of Takeda has vanished like morning dew, leaving a dangerous vacuum of power in the heart of Japan. Amidst the encroaching giants of the Tokugawa and Hōjō, the Sanada clan must rely on a master of ""two faces"" and a network of shadows to survive. In Volume II, The Ueda and Odawara Campaigns, the silent war intensifies. Sanada Masayuki, the strategic genius often mocked as a ""duplicitous fox,"" weaves a labyrinth of traps-not only within the stone walls of his new Ueda Castle but within the very hearts of his enemies. The Mystical Tide of the Kojiki As the Sanada face the fires of invasion and the grip of a devastating drought, a new miracle emerges from the miko academy. Discover the sisters Aoi of the Toyotama and Yuna of the Tamayori. Wielding the legendary Dragon Jewels-the Tide-Flowing and Tide-Ebbing gems of ancient Japanese mythology-these young priestesses command the heavens themselves. Their story, inspired by the primal myths of the Kojiki, brings an ethereal power to the jagged reality of the warring era. The Gathering of the Shadows The legend of the Sanada shadow-warriors begins to take form. Follow Kirigakure Saizō, the phantom of the mist who has traded his cold Iga blood for a new ""Vow,"" and Miyoshi Seikai, a boisterous lay monk with the preternatural ability to scent a lie. Alongside them, the beautiful Yuri Kamanosuke perfects the art of the onnagata, using celestial allure as a lethal tool of infiltration. Authenticity and Heritage Following the contribution by Iyoku Matsukaze (a descendant of the Agatsuma shinobi) in Volume I, this volume features a special contribution by Shinohara Hirofumi, a direct descendant of the Shinjimai-dayū-the hereditary stewards who traveled with and protected the Nonō miko. Inside, readers will find an exclusive look at the ""Nonō Script,"" a mysterious and ancient writing system preserved within the Shinohara family for centuries, offering a tangible link to the esoteric world of the wandering priestesses.
