Tatsumi is a self-acknowledge country bumpkin who is nonetheless a well trained fighter. He and two companions leave their remote village to head to the Imperial City to find a way to relieve their friends and family from ruinous taxation imposed by the authorities. Yet the Imperial City is filled with unimaginable amounts of corruption and evil from supernatural sources. Tatsumi is immediately swindled after reaching the City and nearly loses everything soon after, but finds himself allied with an unlikely group of assassins.
Along the way, one of the Night Raid members has a vision of what appears to be the future. Haunted by the images he sees, the aforementioned individual now aims to change the dark future that lies ahead.
Note:
1. The story is set in modern times mixed in with the original’s empire / royal aesthetics.
