There are three main factions in Amana: Fujimori clan, Ouka clan, and Takatane villagers. Because of this, people in Amana are beginning to feel discontent toward the Fujimori clan. In order to protect their domain, they force farmers and villagers to overwork and impose heavy taxes on them to strengthen their armed force.

The Fujimori clan is an emerging force in Amana and has many enemies within its territory. The story takes place in Amana, a fictional land ruled by a rising feudal lord, Fujimori Shuzen, who had overthrown his former superior, Lord Sakurai, and became the new ruler.
