▍World Setting & Story
The project is set in the sleepless Tenkai Ward of Tokyo, which is ruled by four yakuza groups. The underground of Tenkai Ward sealed a mysterious power known as “The head of Yamata No Orochi.” Legends said that those who drink the blood of “The head of Yamata No Orochi” can obtain the power of God. The battles of the four groups begin when a girl, who is reincarnated as the “key” to break the seal, wanders into this dangerous world.
