A book adaptation has been decided. It was released on February 10, 2023, by KADOKAWA BOOKS.

All who are born into this world invariably harbor a spirit within their being.

Without exception, no matter the creature, a spirit was supposed to dwell within them.

However, Ugetsu Akira, born as the eldest son of a samurai family in an island nation called Takamagahara, was born without a spirit. Shunned by his family, he was eventually exiled from his homeland.

Three years later, Akira was leading a peaceful daily life in a southern land far from his homeland.

But his peaceful days came to an end, and Akira takes a single step forward on a journey to discover himself.

Each chapter is approximately over 5,000 characters long.

I would be delighted if you would read it.
