About Hitori No Shita: The Outcast

A subsequent Chinese/Japanese collaboration saw the comic adapted into an anime television series titled Hitori No Shita: The Outcast, the first season of which was released in 2016.

About the game
The game, like its source material, will be a fusion of modern-day Asian culture, mystical martial arts action, and supernatural folklore.
Little is known about the plot of the game at this stage, though it has been confirmed all original story elements from both the webcomic and the animated series will be used. With that in mind, the TV adaptation plot summary is as follows:
Chou Soran leads a very common college student’s life until he finds himself caught up in a terrible incident that happened in a small village. As he was walking through a graveyard, he is assaulted by zombies. Thinking that it was over for him, a mysterious girl carrying a sword suddenly saves him and disappears.
