Finished

かぐや姫

An old bamboo cutter discovers a tiny, radiant baby girl inside a glowing bamboo stalk. He and his wife raise her as their own daughter, and she grows into a beautiful young woman known as Princess Kaguya. Her extraordinary origin and ethereal beauty attract many suitors, including five noble princes who each seek her hand in marriage.

To test their sincerity, Princess Kaguya sets impossible tasks for each suitor, demanding they retrieve legendary treasures from distant lands. As the princes fail one by one, the Emperor himself becomes captivated by her, yet the princess remains elusive and sorrowful. Her true celestial nature begins to pull her back toward the moon, forcing her to confront a destiny that separates her from the family she loves.
