The Golden Age of Pirates

In 1715, pirates established a lawless republic in the Caribbean and ruled the land and seas. These outlaws paralyzed navies, halted international trade, and plundered vast fortunes. They threatened the power structures that ruled Europe, inspired the imaginations of millions, and left a legacy that still endures.

Into this world sails a young, cocky, and fearsome captain named Edward Kenway. His skill with a sword and disdain for authority earn him the respect of pirate legends like Blackbeard, but thrust him into an ancient conflict that threatens to destroy everything the pirates have built.

Hieda-sensei is a professor of archeology, with a fervent belief in the existence and power of supernatural creatures such as gods and demons. Since he can't prove anything, his belief has earned him the mocking nickname Youkai Hunter from his colleagues.

One day, two men from Ootori-chou come to visit him. They're planning to promote tourism by reviving their town's old, traditional Demon Festival, which was discontinued a century ago. They're basing the festival on Hieda's research, although they're changing a few details to make it flashier for modern sightseers.

Although Hieda is troubled by the history of human death associated with the festival, he agrees to attend as an advisor. When the Demon Festival turns out to be much more historically accurate than anyone ever dreamed, it will take all of Hieda's knowledge and courage to help set things right!

The 1974 classic Youkai Hunter is now updated with a new artist's fresh take on the story!
