Seven Seas Entertainment is releasing both the novel series and its manga adaptation in English, and it describes the story:
In the Edo era, young Jinta and his sister must flee their home, finding refuge in a mountain village. Years later, Jinta has grown into a skilled swordsman, sworn to protect the priestess of the village shrine. Charged with slaying a demon that threatens the shrine, Jinta confronts the malevolent creature in the forest, only to learn a shocking truth. The demon speaks of events one hundred and seventy years hence, when Jinta must confront the demon in the future. Thus begins an epic fantasy journey that spans multiple eras as Jinta hunts a demon through time and must come to terms with his own dark nature.
Nakanishi published the first novel volume, titled Suihō no Hibi (Days of Nothing), in June 2019 with art by Tamaki. The series' 14th and final volume shipped in November 2023.
Futabasha published the first compiled book volume of Yu Satomi's manga adaptation of the novels in September 2021, and the eighth volume shipped on March 19. The manga runs in Monthly Action magazine.
