About
Nippon Sangoku
The story
is set in the near future where Japanese civilization has collapsed after a
combination of nuclear wars, natural disasters, and systemic corruption. The
nation has fragmented into three warring superpowers, ushering in a new
"Three Kingdoms Period."
In this
chaos, Aoteru Misumi, a young man with no military lineage but
formidable ambition and a tongue of silver, seeks to reunify the nation and end
the bloodshed through intellect and oratory.
