About
Picture this: Tokyo Bay’s skyline rising above a battleground where gangsters wielding supernatural powers called “Jingi” duke it out. Sounds like something straight out of an action flick.
You play as Sho Himuro, an unsuspecting lad thrust into leadership within the Hakurou clan under his sister Shizuka’s stern gaze. But when tragedy strikes, the previous boss bites the dust, the balance of power tips dangerously toward the rival Kurojou clan.
Sho’s journey unravels amidst turf wars filled with betrayal and desire. The question looms large: what will he gain from these impossible choices?
