Amazon Prime is streaming the anime series, describing it as:
On a journey to find ourselves. With captured family and a missing past, Ichiyo, a kashi, battles alongside Tenko to regain what’s lost. The Immortal realm. Immortals and humans dwell in a world on the verge of collapse. Ichiyo and Tenko search for the key to salvation, the ‘Four Perils’ who hold this land together.
