Noboru Takagi (Golden Kamuy) serves as the scriptwriter, and Hisashi Abe (Psycho-Pass: Sinners of the System) is designing the characters. Additionally, BiSH will perform the anime’s opening theme song “TOMORROW” and waterweed will perform the anime’s ending theme song “Deep inside.”

Crunchyroll streamed the first season as it aired in Japan and described it as:

Shin and Hyou are war-orphans in the kingdom of Qin. They dream of proving themselves on the battlefield until the day Hyou is captured by a minister. The boy manages to escape and return to his village, but he is badly injured. Shin then meets a mysterious youth who bears an eerie resemblance to Hyou—a boy who will one day become emperor!
