When the past awakens, who will survive what was buried?
On the night Hoshizaki Raizen was born, the sky held no stars, only a silent omen. It was thus, shrouded in secrets, that he and his brother, Naoki, grew up. Their lives were forged by their grandfather's stern gaze and the teachings of Kazehara Kazumi.
But this fragile balance would be shattered forever when ancient forces finally broke free. With the world they knew crumbling, the brothers set out with Kazumi on a journey that challenges reality itself.
Between forgotten pacts and twisted truths, they will face unimaginable creatures - but no monster will be more dangerous than the doubts they carry within. In a desperate search for answers, they will discover that some truths can cost them everything they are.
A story where the supernatural intertwines with the bonds of blood - bonds that can protect... ...or destroy. Memory can be a trap, and the past, no matter how buried, always finds a way to return.
Can the Hoshizaki brothers face the horrors lurking in the shadows without sacrificing everything they love?
Translate Note!
A small note about the nickname “Munchkin”: In the original Portuguese version, the Sensei Kazumi often calls the protagonist nanico, which means something like “shorty” or “tiny.” In English, we chose Munchkin—not as a reference to The Wizard of Oz, but to the Munchkin cat, a breed known for its short legs. It’s meant affectionately (or teasingly), just like in the original. Thank you for reading and joining us on this journey. Your patience and feedback are greatly appreciated!
