Originally created by Yura Urushibara, the manga debuted in 2020 in AKITASHOTEN’s Weekly Shōnen Champion.
Drawing on the well-known Japanese folktale of “Momotaro,” the series depicts a conflict between those with Oni(demon) blood and those with Momotaro blood.
With over 3 million copies in print, the franchise launched the “TOUGEN ANKI Project” in June 2023.
■Synopsis
“You inherit the blood of an Oni (demon)…”
The bloodlines of “Oni” and “Momotaro” have been passed down among certain humans for generations. Long ago, the Oni, aware of their own ferocity, lived in seclusion. However, their peace was shattered by an invasion led by Momotaro. Over thousands of years, these two factions formed the “Momotaro Agency” and the “Oni Agency,” respectively, and have been locked in conflict ever since.
The protagonist, Shiki Ichinose, suddenly learns of his Oni lineage following an unexpected attack by Momotaro. This revelation sets Shiki on a path to discover the destiny that lies within his blood — a meeting with the Oni dwelling within him.
— A new generation of dark heroics begins here in this tale of demons!
