ZAN history overview:
It is near the end of Japan’s Edo era, a time when the samurai system is rapidly disappearing. Zan is one of these samurai who spend their days in endless warfare. One day, Zan hears the voice of a strange girl who leads him to another world beyond space and time. Then begins his cross-dimensional battle against a series of new enemies – and along the way he learns that he was once part of the “twelve generals.” But who is he really? Who are the enemies he fights against, and the comrades he fights with? In an alternating world of light and darkness, war threatens to engulf the entire land in darkness. What does fate mean for Zan in this realm…?
