The ancient capitals of
[Asuka and Fujiwara], [Takatori], famous
as a town of medicine, and [Yoshino],
where mountain ascetics once roamed.
It is said that this [Lands of Manyo] holds
many "mysteries" connected to the land
and its medicines...
Hearing the rumors, Jinshi invites
Maomao to join him on a journey to
unravel these mysteries.
And so, the two board a Kintetsu train
and set off for the mysterious
[Lands of Manyo].
As they explore historic sites steeped in
magnificent nature and timeless history,
they encounter one
"mystery" after another hidden
throughout the land.
Will the two be able to unravel the
"mysteries" concealed within
this ancient land—?
