Nemuri Kyoshiro Kyomu Nisshi Ka (Shueisha Bunko)

[Machine Translation] The mastermind behind the manipulation of the changed Tokugawa Iekei is Sano Kanjuro, the chief retainer of the Tokugawa family. Sano's ability to gather information and his cunning, which even makes the personable Ashinoken a pawn, make it difficult for Kyoshiro and his men to deal with him. With the help of two women sent to the inner palace and three ninja brothers who offer their cooperation, Kyoshiro arrives at Nijo Castle in Kyoto, the enemy's stronghold, only to find Sano's sword, the sorcerer Shikabiya Onian, waiting for him. When the story comes to an end, what will come to your mind? A masterpiece of a long story.
