Arata Kangatari

Arata Kangatari, also known as "Arata: The Legend," is an action-packed manga that delves into a world of fantasy, adventure, and romance. The story follows the lives of two individuals named Arata, one hailing from ancient times and the other from modern-day Japan.

In the land of Amawakuni, every 30 years the esteemed Hime family must choose a princess to serve as the guardian of the powerful Hayagami. However, an unprecedented dilemma arises as records reveal that not a single female has been born into the Hime family in recent years, except for one: Arata, a 15-year-old boy. In order to prevent chaos and maintain balance, Arata is forced to disguise himself as the princess candidate until a suitable successor can be found.

As Arata attends the grand festival, tragedy strikes. The current princess, Kokuri-hime, is brutally murdered before his eyes by the 12 Shinshou, the personal guard of the princess. Suddenly, Arata's life is in grave danger as Kannagi, one of the 12 Shinshou, falsely accuses him of the murder, turning the Imperial Court against him. Now, Arata must flee for his life, simultaneously trying to clear his name and unravel the mystery behind Kokuri-hime's death.

Interestingly, the story takes an unexpected turn as the ancient Arata, while running for his life, stumbles upon a mystical forest. Simultaneously, the modern-day Arata finds himself trapped in a dark alleyway. In a bizarre twist of fate, the two Aratas inadvertently switch places, intertwining their destinies inextricably.
