Synopsis
In a prehistoric world where survival is a daily struggle, Ryuu's life begins under dire circumstances. Born with a unique skin color, his tribe deems him an omen and attempts to offer him to the fearsome Tyrannosaurus, Shirano. However, fate intervenes when a compassionate monkey rescues him and nurtures him as her own. As Ryuu grows up, his biological mother embarks on a perilous journey to find her lost child, unaware of the challenges ahead.
Years later, Ryuu's path intertwines with that of Ran, a girl who has been sold to the very tribe that once sought to sacrifice him. Upon Ryuu's unexpected return, the tribe's hostility resurfaces, culminating in a brutal attempt on his life. Just as the flames threaten to consume him, Shirano reemerges, wreaking havoc on the tribe and claiming the lives of Ryuu's adoptive mother. With their lives irrevocably changed, Ryuu and Ran join forces to embark on a treacherous quest to locate Ryuu's mother and Ran's brother, Don, amidst the chaos of their world.
