An anime series that joins the long tradition of period adventure stories,
OTOGI ZOSHI comes from the same studio that produced the acclaimed GHOST IN
THE SHELL and JIN-ROH. During the Heian Era, the Empire teeters on the edge
of collapse. Famine and disease have swept the countryside, crime runs rampant,
and members of the government bicker and scheme for power rather than solving
problems. The last hope is the master archer Minamoto, sent by the Emperor to
find the magical Magatama that can restore the land. However, disaster seems
to loom when Minamoto himself becomes deathly ill. In order to save Japan, his
sister Hikaru decides to pose as him and find the Magatama herself, beginning
an epic journey full of danger, disguise, and friendship.
This box set contains Volumes One, Two, Three, Four, Five and Six of the Entire
of the series.
