GUNJOU

A young boy from the Korou wolf-clan, Itomaki, suddenly enters his “hunger period.” In order to end it, he must raise a fairy-like creature known as an “Amegashi,” and 1 year later – eat her. For an Amegashi, their only source of food is the blood of a Korou. To eat, and be eaten – together in this ancient coexistence, the two begin their relationship. This heart-wrenching fantasy paints the story of a love so pure, it transcends the boundaries between different races.

Matsuba is a robot. The latest model in fact. He is quite cognizant that he is quite hard. He has also been lying in slumber for a long, long, long time. Matsuba awakens to the deep green eyes of Daidai, eyes just like that of his mother. Thus begins his adventure with Daidai, a sensitive, self-conscious, rather inarticulate, but certainly somehow magical girl, her three rabbit-plant companion creatures, and a courier as they traverse a phantasmic country of kings, curses, and clones haunted by the legacy of four capricious witches.

Long, long ago four witches of great power were sealed away in a mysterious kingdom ruled by a mysterious king. To this day, the legends say that the one who finds their graves will have their wish granted - however impossible that wish may be. Daidai, a girl who escaped from the king’s treasury, believes in those legends and starts her journey through the magic kingdom, accompanied by Matsuba, a small boy-robot who loves her. What really is their destination? And what wish shall the graves of the four witches grant the unlikely companions?
