Shana oh Yoshitsune

Hyouta, a traveling orphan, is mistaken for a noble boy who bears an exact resemblance to him. The real Yoshitsune is weak and sickly, so Hyouta takes his place and eventually assumes his name. Set in the Heian Era, this fictional story follows Hyouta as he journeys to restore the honor of the Genji (Minamoto) clan. He is part of a troupe of traveling entertainers when Tokiwa, a noblewoman, invites them to perform at her home, though her intentions are not what they seem. The story features historical figures and references, including Yoshitsune’s renowned servant Benkei.
