Synopsis
Continues the story of Utawarerumono
Eruruu, a young woman who lives in the forest, discovers a wounded man who has no memory of his identity or past. She brings him to her home, where her grandmother and younger sister, Aruruu, take him in and give him the name Hakuoro. Unlike the villagers, who have distinct ears and tails, Hakuoro is set apart by an unmovable mask he always wears. As Hakuoro becomes part of the community, a rebellion against the oppressive emperor begins, endangering their peaceful life. With the village under attack, Hakuoro must fight to protect the people he has grown to care for, while also uncovering the hidden truths of his forgotten past.
In this installment
Deep within a dense forest, a man without any memories wakes up, completely alone and confused. His bewilderment increases until he encounters Kuon, a young girl with animal-like features. She saves him from boro-gigiri, enormous centipedes, and a mysterious red slime, then guides him to her village. There, he is given the name Haku after a local historical figure. He comes to realize he is the only villager lacking animal ears and a tail. As they travel toward Yamato, the country where Kuon lives, they meet various people and build strong bonds. Without their knowledge, their journey becomes entangled with Yamato's political conflicts and internal struggles. The narrative of Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen unfolds as Haku explores the mysteries of his world, fights to uncover the truth behind the red slimes, and strives to prevent an impending war between neighboring nations.
