Volume 2: Fall of Cherry Blossoms

As the meeting of the Ten Heralds was concluded, a new issue arises regarding Kiyoto. Different factions are now on the hunt for the said mask that can destroy another one of its kind. What kind of change shall Kiyoto administer now that Kirisame have entered the stage, as he seeks the Miko.

Yamanashi, Hokuto:

The City where one of the Great Trees of Japan resides; The Great Yamataka Jindai Zakura. It was being housed in Jissoji Temple which is said to be the most sacred Temple as it houses great spirits and most of all, it is where the rituals of the Tenth Herald are being held. The borders of Yamanashi are guarded by towering Torii gates, along with its respective guardians.

Komura Nagi - The previous holder of the Fox Mask, who is also the mother of the current Ninth Herald, Miko. She is serene, placid, a person who holds no negative thoughts and lives her life loving those around her. Though, she died early, mainly donning the role of the High Priestess for only 10 years. As the saying goes: "In a garden, the gardener will often pick the most beautiful flowers to pluck."

Miko Nagi - The present holder of the Fox Mask, making her the generational Tenth Herald. She is an innocent Shrine maiden, who already inherited the Fox Mask at such a young age due to the death of her mother, Komura. She was treated as if she's a puppet despite being the Head Priestess who leads the rituals. Though despite this, her heart, and her dreams, still belong to her beloved people.

Ginjiro - One of the Kannushis (shrine priests) of the Temple. He is one of the few that is loyal to the Head Priestess. He had a rough childhood, working as a thief with no parents guiding him, but he did not mind it at all. Everything changed when he met Toshi which would then lead him to his father and finally, to Komura.

Toshihiro - A Kannushi like Gin, however Toshi does not take the job as seriously as him. He's an outgoing and free guy who acts on his own without the care of what others say to him. He has an idolization with Kirisame Magnolia as he's the reason his father had changed.

Habiki - He deeply loves music and his mission is to use it to soothe and give peace to the hearts of the people. In contrast to this, his Mask allows him to explode a certain area with the use of blast vibration. He also has an idolization with Kirisame Magnolia as he saves him from the negative thoughts he's been dealing with after a certain performance.

Millie - She is a responsible woman, who is also strong enough to defend herself. She provides encouragement to the people around her with her outgoing personality. She has a deep bond with Habiki, having a plan already for their future as a couple. The Cat Mask she wields allows her to adapt the agility and certain features of a feline.

Magnolian Business Empire:

The Empire that is built by the succeeding generations of the Ninth Herald. It was the biggest and most successful business empire reigning over Japan, mainly focusing its products for technological advancement and hardwares. It is now being led by the talented and genius, Kirisame Magnolia.

Kirisame Magnolia - The current holder of the Leyline Mask, making him the generational Ninth Herald. He is a man of intelligence, smarts and talent, but most of all, his intentions to help someone, despite already having everything, is pure. Though his words may be a bit direct and hurtful, he uses it to encourage and build the person he is consoling. The Leyline Mask, however, has gotten out of his control.

Independent

Lunar - The mysterious and dangerous girl who seems to be the guardian of Kiyoto. Lunar is the current holder of the Moon Ornament, hailed to be the 2nd strongest of the Ten Powers, making her the generational Second Herald. There are still many things that need to be known about her, but one thing's for sure: she will always be involved in Kiyoto's business.
