Summary[]

After the massacre of his family by the traitor Ashikaga Takauji, Tokiyuki flees with the help of a handful of loyal retainers who have also survived the purge. One of them is Suwa Yorishige, an ally of the Hojo clan and lord of Suwa province. The slightly odd Yorishige also claims to be clairvoyant and foretells that Tokiyuki will one day become the ruler of Japan. But for the moment, escaping from enemy territory is the priority!

Author's Comment[]

When I was a boy, I was good at dodging in dodgeball. I would always be the last player remaining, so I felt like a hero.

The boy in this story is a historical personage who recreates that feeling for me. If readers find a little-known period in Japanese history to be thrilling through the unique perspective he provides, both the boy from 30 years ago and the boy from 700 years ago would be proud.
