Synopsis
Yamato prince Oguna is sent by his father, the emperor, to kill Takeru, the Kumaso chieftain, and carries a purpose of his own: to find the Phoenix, whose blood could spare the retainers due to be buried alive when the emperor dies. Wounded during the mission and nursed back to health by Takeru's sister Kajika, Oguna falls in love with her even as his orders to kill her brother stand, caught between the throne's demand and the family that took him in. This OVA adapts the Yamato chapter of the Phoenix manga, set in the 4th-century Kofun period.
