Ishura

With the Demon King gone, the world’s balance collapses into a scramble for dominance. Warriors who style themselves as new demon kings arrive from different worlds and converge on the New Principality of Lithia, each determined to seize the vacant throne. Among them is Soujirou Yagyuu, a peerless swordsman, who heads to Lithia alongside Tooi Kagizume no Yuno—a young girl he rescued after golems razed her city.

Elsewhere, the Kingdom of Aureatia quietly works to undermine Lithia by turning bandits loose on the merchant convoys that pass through the principality. In response, Imashime of Taren—Lithia’s founder and a former Aureatian—dispatches the ruthless thief Kasasagi no Dakai to trace the source of the raids. As tensions rise toward open war, the ambitions of Lithia’s challengers threaten to reshape the conflict in unpredictable ways.
