Hoshin Engi, Vol. 8

When his clan is wiped out by a beautiful demon, young Taikobo finds himself in charge of the mysterious Hoshin Project. Its mission: find all immortals living in the human world and seal them away forever. But who do you trust--and whose side are you really on--when you've been trained to hunt demons by a demon.

The land of Seiki's battle for independence from the domination of Empress Dakki begins in full force. After his allies suffer heavy casualties, Taikobo must hold the line against the fury of Bunchu and his forces.
