The samurai known as Haiyu never intended to find himself in service to the Lord of Hell. In the beginning, he was a man beset with dreams about a mysterious woman who was in some kind of trouble. Seduced into riding the mystical artifact known as Kairyon's Disk into the earth, he found himself spirited away from the world he knew and drawn into a weird world existing beneath a dying ochre sun. His adventures carried him through strange vistas and encounters with unusual creatures.

Soon enough, Haiyu found himself in the service of Emma-O himself, a Samurai of Hell venturing through a strange land with a two-fold mission.

In these six dark but heroic fantasy tales, including a brand new piece detailing Haiyu's meeting with Emma-O, the Samurai of Hell discovers his destiny and performs his duty. Follow the wanderer as he discovers:
