The year is 1649. Samurai are powerful- rumors of them having spiritual-like powers that make them so powerful. Osamu Dazai is one of those samurai’s, a very gifted one with almost 60 won duals in his career at only 25 years old. Dazai is somewhat cocky with his abilities- bragging about it often. In Japan during this time, white men were considered inhuman and banned from Japan. Mixed people of white and Japanese descent were considered monsters, they were hated though they were still allowed.
