About
Her only choice is to run away. But, if she can't return in time, she'll be an outcast for life!
Japan, 1870. For bird-girl Azuki, being dual-natured is dangerous. With a greedy overlord coveting her beautiful Toki feathers, she attempts to keep her head down. But when, he murders her parents in a failed kidnapping, Azuki's only escape is to spread her wings and take to the skies.
Sparrow-boy Shota has no time to grieve. As his mother dies in his arms, he makes a promise to find his sister and warn her that she must come back. For unless Shota and Azuki make it home by the quarter day, they'll lose their chance to return forever.
As he barters his way across the country, the obstacles of ogres, storms, and time stand between two siblings and their hopes of citizenship and happiness.
In a rapidly, modernizing world, can Azuki and Shota return, before they're banished without a place to call home?
