On August 8, 1945, Shigeru Yahara, a lieutenant colonel in the Japanese army, and his wife, Keiko, go to Hiroshima’s Shima Hospital to give birth to Sakura, after numerous complications. But just as Sakura is born, an atomic bomb falls on Hiroshima. Just as the flash is about to level them, Shigeru is sucked through a portal and witnesses the tragic death of his wife, irradiated by the bomb’s wave. A moment later, Shigeru is holding his daughter Sakura in his arms, in a new world of magic and fantasy. In this unknown, wild and hostile world, he must survive and save his child from certain death, when monstrous beasts begin to attack. Survival is hard, and death is near. It’s then that he feels called to a hidden cave at the base of a celestial mountain. Hopeless and ready to put an end to his life and that of his child, he enters the depths of the cave to find himself in the dark, face to face with a creature as legendary as it is intimidating, Oroshi, the last dragon. He offers to save his life and that of his child, on one condition: that he uses the dragon’s strength to one day take revenge on those who destroyed his species.
