Sony's Animax to Produce, Run Anime of Kurozuka Manga

Baku Yumemakura's supernatural romance novel about a 12th-century man named Minamoto no Yoshitsune (Kurō). Kurō flees into the mountains after losing to his brother Minamoto no Yoritomo — the first Shogun to rule all of Japan. History records that he committed suicide, but instead, Kurō meets a strange, beautiful woman named Kuromitsu in her mountain hermitage. Eventually, Kurō falls in love with Kuromitsu, but then realizes she conceals a dark secret. He learns that he is unable to die and continues to live for a thousand years as Japan evolves into a future society.

Yumemakura had previously written the novels that were adapted into the Super Jump magazine from 2002 to 2006, and ten volumes were compiled.
