Akame

Status: Finished
Genres: Adventure

In medieval Japan, the feudal lord Nobuhira reigns as an authentic tyrant over his domain, carrying out all kinds of abuses on the peasants. He kills some for fun, to test the effectiveness of his sword blade and to generate a climate of terror that drives other farmers into blind obedience. These, increasingly reduced to starvation, are forced to pay higher and higher taxes in rice, extorted from them through coercive methods, the kidnapping of women or the taking of hostages but all their attempts to revolt are suffocated in blood in the bud. One day, however, a crippled monk makes his appearance in those lands, who attributes those nefarious events to the curse of the venerable akame, who are actually very normal rabbits, the main food of the local population. The rabbits thus become the object of the veneration of the peasants, who invoke their protection, which however is not frowned upon by the feudal lord.

Soldier

Status: Finished
Genres: Action

In the era of Tenmei's Great Famine, plagued by crop failures, desperate farmers sold their daughters to human traffickers, and those suffering from hunger were said to have resorted to cannibalism. It was a dark time. In the midst of this, there was a wandering swordsman who called himself the "Funeral Soldier", burying the past and flowing with the present.

During his journey, this Funeral Soldier, named Okasa Haminosuke, saved a woman who had been swept away by the Setagawa River near Ise. Through this encounter, he met a woman named Okimi and a female merchant named Genshi. Genshi would sell Okimi to a brothel, receive payment, and then help her escape, only to repeat the process with another brothel, earning money along the way. At first glance, it seemed like a simple relationship between a female merchant and a woman being sold, but their lives were intertwined with the horrifying reality of famine, a tale they couldn't share with anyone else.
