A successful manga in Japan, soon to be adapted into a live-action (tokusatsu) adaptation, heavily inspired by the great classics of the past by Go Nagai, Shotaro Ishimori, and Mistuteru Yokoyama. Kenzi Taketomi, with her rugged style typical of a 1970s mangaka, crafts a story steeped in mystery, action, and Japanese tradition, with a script and narrative progression that will leave you breathless from the first page to the last. A mysterious, powerful being, resembling an ancient idol, appears in the city of Nagano Zenkōji, Nagano Prefecture. The city is plunged into panic as the figure continues its march of destruction, carnage, and terror. But there are people who have foreseen this day's arrival and have long been preparing for it. In such a desperate situation, the only hope lies in ancient warriors... the Haniwatt! This is the story of the continuing influence the gods have had on humanity, and the plight of those who dared to oppose them.
