While Jinta is an outsider to the town, he is still tasked with seeking out a demon in the forest on a quest to vanquish it.

The novels' story spans 170 years from the Edo period to the Heisei period, with the protagonists traveling through space and time while seeking a meaning for why they wield the blade.
