Imperial Capital Detective Stories

The Master of the Inn

A young man, with amnesia, finds himself in a foreign world where people with animal ears and tails live. But, being that this world has monsters, and isn’t a modern society, he finds himself reliant on his assumed guardian to survive.

Curse

The village is under attack by monsters called gigiri, small insects with nasty claws. Haku and Kuon go with a group of mercenaries to help wipe them out, but get more than they bargained for when they run into a boro-gigiri, a monster that's over 30 feet tall.

The Righteous Man

Haku and Kuon travel to the capital, but their journey is interrupted by a bandit attack.

The Road to the Capital

Having reached the capital, Haku and gang look for work... but not before partying. That's when a girl named Nekone appears before them, and she's actually Ukon's little sister.

The Imperial Capital

Haku's busy days of working hard in the mornings and afternoon and studying at night are wearing down his mind. However, his hard work pays off when he's finally given a vacation. With his freedom and a little money, he sets out to the capital.

The Pirate Girl

The inn where Haku's staying, the Hakuroukaku, is known for its beautiful owner. She sends him a letter and invites him to a banquet. He goes, but...

A lone passenger ship set sail in the night fog. It turns out to be a hub for illegal gambling.

A messenger arrives at Yamato, claiming he's from a land beyond the eastern sea.

Messengers from the Land Where Gods Sleep

Anju is in love with Oshutoru, the royal general. But because she is the imperial princess, she can't fall in love like ordinary people do. Kuon and the others try their best to help her.

In Love

The princess has decided to pretend to be kidnapped, in hopes that Oshutoru will come and save her. She enlists Nosuri's help and Haku is forced to help too. But Nosuri has no idea who she really is, and when Oshutoru comes, Haku is forced to face him alone...!

The Princess Plays with Fire

For his services in saving the princess, Haku is invited to the palace and given an audience with the emperor. He is gifted two girls who are called the Priestesses of Chains. But he doesn't realize the deep meaning they possess.

Kamunagi of Chains

Yamato is threatened by a barbarian invasion from the north, but the town doesn't seem worried at all. The eight pillar generals mount a counterattack, and Haku finds himself dragged along.

The Eight Pillar Generals

The invading forces are taking Yamato citizens hostage and using them as front line troops against the Eight Pillar generals. Rurutie and Haku go on a dangerous mission behind enemy lines to release the hostages' loved ones.

Blade Master

The ancient power of the masks is brought down to bear on the invading Usuurussha armies. The armies are torn apart by the power of the Eight Pillar Generals, but is the cost to Yamato's own citizens too great?

Masks

After returning from the war, Haku is deeply depressed. The girls all offer him gifts to cheer him up, but it doesn't help. So all the men decide to have a massive banquet and drink together. It gets out of hand and everyone starts taking off their clothes..

Banquet

The truth behind Haku's past is revealed. What is his connection to the emperor, and to the mysterious and powerful masks?

Afterglow

The Emperor has declared war on Tousukuru, and Haku is summoned to join the fight. Will Kuon be willing to fight against her homeland?

Invasion

The war against Tousukuru is going poorly, and Haku is sent with reinforcements. Munechika turns to him to come up with a plan to break the stalemate.

In Flames

Haku comes up with a brilliant plan to attack the fortress where the Tousukuru provisions are stored. But he's discovered by a general who's as powerful as his entire group combined!

Warrior

The Emperor is dead, and now his daughter must take his place. But the Eight Pillar Generals have other ideas. She is poisoned and Oshutoru is blamed for the killing. Will Haku be able to make it in time?

Death of the Emperor

The emperor is dead, and Anju has been poisoned. Oshutoru takes the blame for the crime. Haku mounts a daring plan to rescue him.

Rescue

The chase is on as Haku attempts to smuggle Oshutoru and Anju from the capital. But will he be able to flee the combined might of the eight pillar generals?

Escape

The race is on to escape the capital as the rest of the Eight Pillar Generals seek Oshutoru's death. Burai corners Haku and his friends, and the only way to survive is for a wounded Oshutoru to use the power of his cursed mask.

What Makes a Ruler

The princess and the rest of the group have successfully fled to Enna-Kamui to ready themselves for the coming civil war. Oshutoru and Nekone arrive later, bearing bad news: Haku is dead.

Who Carries On His Will

Hakuoro has lost his memory after succumbing to serious injuries. But thanks to an elderly woman and her granddaughter Eruruu, he is nursed back to health. His face is covered by a strange irremovable mask and he occasionally sees beastly visions. Eruruu now cares for him as he becomes accustomed to the village and its inhabitants, who all bear strange ears (the women also have tails). Though these people venerate the forces of nature, desecration of an altar forces them to take drastic measures to preserve their lives from the wrath of Mutikapa-sama, guardian of the forest.
