Usuki no odessei

Hatashi Hirakima is the last heir of a fallen clan — a quiet academy student with more scars than strength. But when he discovers the legendary Demon Eyes, his fate is bound to the ancient spirit of Nakimara, a cunning demon who lurks in the shadows of his mind.

Graduating into the world of true warriors, Hatashi joins his squadmates Kaitara and Tiatsuri under the sharp eye of their mysterious new sensei, Hashiro Mitsuke. Together, they face deadly trials — from stealth missions and rival clans to the terrifying Smoke Lord and River King.

Yet every victory carries a darker cost. The more Hatashi fights, the more Nakimara’s power awakens within him… and the line between hero and monster begins to blur.

A tale of friendship, cursed power, and the rise of a forgotten bloodline begins here.
