A fantastic historical action drama in which Minamoto no Yoshitsune's orphan, Hoshiwakamaru, becomes the leader of the Ryuomaru, a military ship based on the east coast of the continent, and fights against a sorcerer group led by Yoshitoki Hojo of the Kamakura Shogunate!
The time was the reign of the second shogun, Minamoto no Yoriie. Ten years have passed since Yoshitsune was forced to commit suicide in Hiraizumi, Oshu. However, groups calling themselves the ``Yoshitsune Party'' were still rampant in Tohoku, and the situation was far from pacified. The Kamakura shogunate, furious, dispatches Unkai, a sorcerer-wielding monk, to subjugate the area. Unkai visits the Fukushima Castle of Hidemoto Ando in Jusanminato, Tsugaru, who is suspected of harboring Yoshitsune's party, and orders him to present Yoshitsune's orphaned child. Unkai sets fire to a Chinese ship moored at the port as Hidemoto pushes his way through his ignorance. Seeing this, Hidemoto's daughter Yayoi-hime runs to the quay to alert Seiwakamaru of the emergency, but what appears is a sea of clouds. The one that set the ship on fire was a trap to lure Seiwakamaru out. In order to save the captured Princess Yayoi, Yoshitsune's forgotten keepsake, Hoshiwakamaru, finally appears.
A masterpiece of historical fantasy drawn by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko, the master of "Mobile Suit Gundam THE ORIGIN", set in the early Kamakura period, which is attracting attention in the 2022 taiga drama "13 People of Kamakura-dono"!
