About: In feudal Japan, the Edo period brought a time of delicate peace bought with blood. This is a chronicle of the life of Jubei Kibagami as he wanders the countryside as a ninja for hire. At this time, ninja clans are everywhere. One clan, known as the Hiruko Clan, doomed to live and die in darkness, protects a sacred treasure called the Dragon Stone.
The Kimon Clan, however, bent on reviving the power of the Toyotomi, wants the Dragon Stone and the treasure it hides. Jubei Kibagami is the best the man for the job of protecting both the Dragon Stone and the only one whom can use it – The Light Maiden!
While specific details about the packaging have not been provided we do know that the series will feature English & Japanese audio and come with a seleciton of art cards. We also expect that this UK release will use the same disc masters as those used by Discotek Media in the US. Naturally further details about this release will be revealed in due time, but for the time being it is scheduled for a 1st July 2024 release within the UK and an early bird pre-order offer is available on anime-on-line for a limited time.
