Kitsune no Ichibun

The Warring States Period, a time when only the strong survived. A fox-masked man lives alone in a shrine deep in the mountains Although the villagers shun him as a “fox spirit," but they don't know the reason why he is there…

The spirit of the samurai and the things he must protect.
The form may change, but duty never does.
