About

In the world of shinobi, balance was once maintained by the two great villages of Iga and Koga. However, in recent years, a new presence has emerged to shake that equilibrium. Hidden deep in the mountains lies a small shinobi village—the Village of the Hidden Moon. Despite its inferior history and numbers, the village has rapidly expanded its influence through the exploits of its young shinobi, successfully completing numerous top-secret missions. Guest, a kunoichi serving the Village of the Hidden Moon, was on her way back to the village after completing a mission. On the way, she was caught in a sudden downpour and ducked into an old shrine in the mountains for shelter. There, she found a man also seeking refuge from the rain. The man's name was Nagi. Neither Guest nor Nagi knew that the other was a shinobi. Of course, they knew nothing of each other's names or backgrounds. Yet, the brief conversation they shared in the shrine amidst the sound of falling rain somehow lingered in both their hearts. When the rain stopped, they went their separate ways. They thought they would never meet again. But a few days later, they happened to reunite in town. And after that, at a dango shop, on the street, at a festival, at a shrine... As if guided by something, the two began to meet in town again and again. Without prying into each other's true identities, they continued to exchange words under false personas. With every meeting, the distance between them closed, and before long, these "chance encounters" became something they both looked forward to. Where did the other come from? Who were they? Why did they sometimes wear such a lonely expression? Despite knowing so little, they found themselves wanting to know more. They did not yet know. That the person they were falling for was a shinobi from a rival village that their own village viewed with extreme caution. Then one day, new secret orders were handed down to each of them. In the course of their missions, their true identities were revealed. The person met on that rainy day. The person laughed with so many times in town. The person they had come to long for from the bottom of their hearts. —Every bit of it was the enemy. The two must now face each other as foes. Yet, they cannot erase the time they have spent together. Will they follow their orders? Or will they choose the heart that remains drawn to the other even knowing they are an enemy? The fate of two living as shinobi and the path of their forbidden love begins to move now. Iga Village ⚔️ A prestigious shinobi village boasting a long history and tradition.
