“The series centers on Shao, a girl from a place called the Alley whose world unravels when her sister Rei goes missing during a relic-smuggling operation in the Garden – a sacred realm accessible only through rare red beans. Cornered and without allies, Shao strikes a deal with crime boss Zero and takes up work as a relic hunter, using an ancient water blade as she confronts mercenaries, zealots, and warriors in a land she was never meant to enter. The deeper she travels, the more she learns that Rei has been altered beyond recognition, and that the forces responsible intend to permanently sever the connection between the two worlds.” This is going to be good. The time for long-form story telling is here for @Azuki, couldn’t be more excited.
