Jigokuraku

In the twilight of the Edo period, Gabimaru the Hollow, once the most formidable shinobi of Iwagakure and now a condemned man, is given a perilous chance at redemption. Tasked with retrieving the mythical Elixir of Life from the enigmatic island of Shinsekyo, he embarks on a journey that promises freedom—if he can survive its treacherous trials. Alongside Yamada Asaemon Sagiri, a young executioner from a renowned clan, Gabimaru faces not only other desperate convicts but also mysterious creatures and the haunting secrets that shroud the island.

With each step on the island drawing him deeper into its eerie mysteries, Gabimaru battles both the land's supernatural dangers and his own past transgressions. Driven by the hope of reuniting with his beloved wife and spurred by the grim reality that none who have sought the Elixir have returned unscathed, Gabimaru must navigate a world where the lines between life, death, and eternal damnation blur. His journey becomes not just a fight for survival, but a quest for a life beyond the shadows of his former sins.
