Silver Snake in the Roots of the Pine - 4

To be immortalized in legends — isn’t that what all heroes strive for? Matsumoto Hizashi, cursed by the gods as a yokai shapeshifter, has lived too long to be disappointed by legends, for none of them tell the truth — sometimes even the most cruel of villains are merely humans, and giving one’s life for a friend is scarier than it seems. His and Kenta’s journey passes through the ruins of the familiar world to where the sky glows crimson with the reflections of the lights of Yomi, and all questions find their answers. Rejected, unjustly accused, loyal to each other like never before, they can rely only on themselves. For only the gods know what the ending of this legend will be.
