The Deal...
Izumo, revered leading man of a small medieval Japanese theatre has a secret: he was once a Demon Warden- a warrior with the charge of ridding medieval Edo of its on-going demon infestation. Now enjoying a largely event-less existence, Izumo believes his demon-hunting days are long over, but his life is turned upside-down when he encounters a mysterious girl named Tsubaki with an eye-shaped scar on her back that seems to be growing in size with each encounter. As Izumo pursues Tsubaki for her love and companionship, Jaku, Demon Warden and Izumo's ex-colleague, along with the demon priestess Bizan are pursuing her for a much different reasons: they believe that she is the key to awakening the long-sleeping demon emperor Ashura - for it is in Edo, the bridge between the world of the living and the damned, that Ashura is prophesied to finally appear.
