A new historical giant series will begin, depicting the lives of people during the 13th century Mongol invasion, centered around Kublai, the grandson of Genghis Khan, and Tokimune Hojo, the regent of the Kamakura shogunate.
The first installment of “Shinraki” will be published in the October issue of “Novel Subaru” (published by Shueisha), which will be released on Tuesday, September 17th.

* “Shinraki” synopsis *
After the death of the second emperor Ugedi, the Mongol Empire remained without an emperor. In the midst of the turmoil surrounding the third emperor, Kublai, the grandson of Genghis Khan, the hero who laid the foundations of a great empire, goes on a journey to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather and visit his great-uncle Temge to pay his respects. What he saw for the first time in his life there was the fleet owned by the Temuge family, and the “sea” that was much larger than the prairie.
Meanwhile, Takeru, a young man from the Matsuura party who has left his hometown of the Goto Islands for some reason and is the captain of the Temuge family’s fleet, decides to take Kublai on board and guide him around the ship. Takeru occasionally informed the Matsuura party about the situation on the continent, but one day he was called back to Ukujima and received an order. His request was to speak about the Mongol Empire to a messenger from Kamakura, who was visiting Hirado to take over as regent. The curtain is now rising on an epic story in which the beliefs and doubts of various people are intricately intertwined.
