The Castle-Capture Tale

おんたま

【Summary of Part One】 Kazumura Ikusuki, a university student whose hobby is visiting castle ruins, falls down a flight of stairs at Himeji Castle during a sightseeing trip on a certain summer day. When he regains consciousness shortly after, he finds himself facing an unfamiliar landscape that doesn't seem modern at all. It is ancient Japan, the province of Harima. Accepting his circumstances, Kazumura obtains a position as the third son of a farming family and decides to do whatever it takes to survive in this world. 【Summary of Part Two】 Through military service, Kazumura gains a position as a retainer of the Kuroda clan. He carries out menial tasks within the Kuroda family in the aftermath of a generational transition. During this time, he is invited by a superior to relocate from Kuroda manor to Himeyama, where he becomes involved in the construction of Himeyama Castle, the predecessor to Himeji Castle. Feeling the gap between the past and the present, and overcoming various troublesome obstacles, he continues to move forward no matter what.
