Laughing Under the Clouds

曇天に笑う

In the eleventh year of the Meiji era, the government bans the carrying of swords, leading to the decline of the samurai and a surge in crime across Japan. To address this unrest, an inescapable prison is constructed in the middle of a vast lake. The Kumo brothers—Tenka, Soramaru, and Chuutarou—are tasked with transporting criminals to this remote facility.

Their lives seem relatively peaceful despite their grim work, but the town of Oumi holds a dark secret. An ancient legend speaks of the Orochi, a serpentine beast that awakens every three hundred years in a human vessel. The Kumo family's true duty is to prevent this monster's revival before it can plunge the world into destruction.

As the next resurrection approaches, the brothers must uncover the truth about their family's legacy and find the strength to face a destiny far greater than they ever imagined.
