Sword of The Demon Hunter 05

For generations, a shrine has stood in the mountain village of Kadono, and for each generation the shrine has had an Itsukihime—its shrine maiden—and the maiden has had her guardian. During the Edo period, a young man named Jinta protects the town and the Itsukihime. When he confronts a strange demon in the forest the next time, he is told that in the distant future, a Demon God will threaten all people, everywhere, and claims that the Demon God's rise to power will arise from this very time and place, in the village of Kadono. Thus begins a centuries-long journey of a man tainted by demons, hunting through time to seek justice for what he has lost and to find a reason to keep fighting.
