Mirage of Blaze

Takaya Ougi is an ordinary high school student who wants a quiet life and, above all, to keep his best friend safe. That changes when Nobutsuna Naoe, an older man known as a “possessor,” reveals that Takaya is the reincarnation of the warlord Kagetora and forces him to awaken powers meant for driving out spirits and battling the forces of the Feudal Underworld.

Unlike most possessors, Takaya has no memory of his previous life—something Naoe is relieved by, given the intense and abusive history he shared with Kagetora. As Takaya grows stronger, fragments of the past begin to surface, and the consequences of Naoe’s love come back into focus. With the Hojo and Fuma clans moving against them and the Feudal Underworld pressing into the present, the fight becomes both a supernatural war and a reckoning with who they once were.
