Zipang: Deep Blue Current

ジパング 深蒼海流

Set during the Heiji Rebellion (1159–1160), the story follows the conflict between the Minamoto clan, led by Yoshitomo, and the Taira clan, led by Kiyomori. Yoshitomo's third son, thirteen-year-old Yoritomo, enters battle alongside his father and two older brothers. The young boy faces the harsh realities of war as the two powerful clans clash for control of Japan.

The disastrous outcome of this battle changes the course of Yoritomo's life forever. Defeated and forced to flee, he must navigate a world of political intrigue, betrayal, and shifting alliances. His family's fall from power leaves him isolated and vulnerable, yet the seeds of his future rise are planted in these early struggles.

As Yoritomo grows, he learns to adapt to the brutal demands of his era, forging connections and honing the skills that will eventually make him a prominent figure in Japanese history. The events of the Heiji Rebellion set him on a path toward becoming one of the most influential leaders of the samurai age.
