The thrilling adventures of an amnesiac Ronin in medieval Japan, where spirits still exert their magic on the land. Raido, a young amnesiac Ronin-a masterless Samurai-roams about in a quest for his memories. His first stop is the city that talks to the sky, the ultimate stronghold against the ice invading the Land of the Rising Sun. There, he meets Meiki, a graceful puppeteer and storyteller of charms. Legend of the Scarlet Blades, as painted in the stark and tormented style of Saverio Tenuta, is a series whose universe is inspired by feudal Japanese history and traditions, full of breathtaking settings and populated by a myriad of wondrous mythical beings.
