Haigakura is based on the fantasy manga series by Shinobu Takayama, which ran in Ichijinsha’s Comic Zero Sum WARD magazine from January 16, 2008 to May 16, 2015. The manga then moved to Zero-Sum Online on September 18, 2015, where it has been running since. Sixteen tankobon volumes have been released as of August 2023.
The story takes place in a secluded realm called Senkai, where both gods and mortals reside. With the realm on the verge of collapse, a young poet warrior named Ichiyo travels the land to capture the gods, who have spread out all over the realm, by using a technique called Kessai. Together with his subordinate god Tenko, Ichiyo goes on a quest to search for the four evil gods, who hold the key to the realm’s collapse.
