Haigakura takes place in a secluded realm called Senkai, where deities and mortals both live. With the realm on the verge of collapse, a young poet warrior named Ichiyo sets out to capture the gods who have fled all over the realm with a technique called Kessai. Together with his subordinate god Tenko, Ichiyo goes on a quest to search for the four evil gods, who hold the key to the realm’s collapse.
