峠鬼 [Touge Oni] #1

A towering, robed figure looms at the edge of a verdant, mist-shrouded landscape while three smaller — seemingly young — travelers stand together in the foreground, gripping a staff and looking out with quiet determination. Primal Gods in Ancient Times sets its mythological stage immediately, pairing the immense scale of an ancient deity against the vulnerability and resolve of its human characters. Kenji Tsurubuchi's series opens with a mood that feels both steeped in folklore and genuinely adventurous.
