The work is a dark fantasy inspired by Amano's 2010 art collection 'DEVA ZAN,' which features over 300 original artworks and was published by Dark Horse Comics. Set during the Sengoku period, young samurai ZAN is in the midst of a fierce battle at Azuchi Castle when he is guided by a mysterious girl's voice into a parallel world beyond time and space. In this realm, 'Trope,' the symbol of life, and its ruler 'RIKKA' govern the order of existence. Through intense battles, ZAN reexamines his own sense of justice.
