Meanwhile, Hideyori possessed the secret weapon "Chitenhou," which even Ieyasu feared, and desired peace. However, Choun, who had transformed into a demon, manipulated Ieyasu, and finally, the decisive battle began. The Ten Braves and the brilliant strategist Yukimura fought using ninjutsu from their base at Sanada Maru. What is the fate of Sarutobi Sasuke, who struggles in Osaka Castle as the final moment approaches, and the outcome of his love with Sakuya Yagyu? And what is the true identity of the ultimate weapon, "Chitenhou"? A monumental work that shines brilliantly in the lineage of historical fantasy is now complete! A splendid fusion of historical fantasy and chivalric tales! "A horror version of 'Apocalypse Now' that should be called terrifying." Literary critic Yoshiharu Sasakawa Ken Asamatsu (born April 10, 1956) is a novelist from Minami-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. His pen name comes from the writer Arthur Machen. His wife is the witch thinker Mirai Matsuo. He writes widely, mainly occult and mystery novels, historical fantasy novels, and in recent years, he has also been actively publishing novels based on the so-called "Tachikawa school" and the Muromachi period. He is also highly regarded both domestically and internationally for his anthology compilation on the Cthulhu Mythos. At the age of 14, he read H.P. Lovecraft's "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" and became an enthusiastic Lovecraftian. He formed the fantasy mystery novel circle "Black Magic Group." In 1981, he graduated from the Faculty of Buddhist Studies at university. He joined Kokushokankokai as an editor and was involved in planning and editing works such as "Shin Ku-Little-Little Mythos Anthology," "Complete Works of Lovecraft," and "Arkham House Series." In addition, he published many articles and writings on Western magic. Asamatsu was the first to systematically introduce knowledge of Western magic to Japan. Many of the magic-related words that frequently appear in novels and games since the 1980s have spread from the translated words and coined words that Asamatsu devised when translating the original texts (for example, "summoning" in summoning magic). In 1985, he published his first non-fiction book, "The Book of Western Magic that Awakens the Power of Transformation" (Hamano Publishing). In the same year, he left Kokushokankokai. The following year, 1986, he made his debut as a novelist with "Phantom of the Demon Sect." #HistoricalFantasy #PostwarJapaneseLiterature #SoltyBooks #HistoricalNovel #PurpleBookshelf #DarkFantasy
