In a war-torn Japan, six notorious Akudama embark on a perilous journey. Darkness and chaos ensue as a young girl is pulled into their world of high-stakes crime. If you love gritty sci-fi thrillers, this is unmissable.

Many years ago, a Great Civil War ravaged Japan, leaving the country fragmented between two regions: Kansai and Kanto. In Kansai, a group of six Akudama carry out missions given to them by a mysterious black cat, while evading the police. But a dangerous journey is about to unfold when a civilian girl becomes twisted into the Akudama’s way of life and witnesses their criminal drives.
