Synopsis of Sengoku Youko
The world is divided into two factions: humans and monsters called katawara. Despite being a katawara, Tama loves humans and vows to protect them from evil, even if it means fighting her own kind. Her Jinka’s brother, however, hates humans, despite being almost one of them. The brothers are joined by a dastardly swordsman named Shinsuke, who wants to learn to be strong.
When the group uncovers a plot to experiment on humans and transform them into monsters, they vow to defeat whoever is behind it…even if it means facing off against an entire army of warriors. The people they will meet, the places they will see and the creatures they will fight against will be legendary.
