During the Edo period, the gods entrusted Momotaro with the mission of wiping out demons who infested humans with parasitic "bugs" and consumed their life force. Alongside the loyal vassals—Kensuke, Saruhiko, and Yukijiro—Momotaro battled bravely, but one day a formidable demon nearly annihilated them all. As death loomed, a god declared: "Momotaro, strike down that demon. Power will gather in a peach, and from it you shall be reborn. Choose one vassal to make immortal, to protect you while you sleep." Centuries later, in the modern Reiwa era, the reincarnated Momotaro finally awakens—in the body of a chicken?! This thrilling Japanese-style reincarnation fantasy is from Mochi, creator of "Cuticle Detective Inaba" and "The Witch's Servant and the Demon Lord's Horn."
