An epic fantasy adventure set in an alternate medieval Japan, where
humans co-exist with the mythic half man/half horse beasts known as
centaurs, or "jinba". The centaur race were long revered as deities
in ancient times; however, with the advent of the sengoku (warring
states) period, humans started to enslave and use them for military
purposes due to their speed, stamina, and ability to communicate in
human language. Centaurs living in the plains were rapidly
subjugated; in contrast, large numbers of centaurs living deep in
the mountains were still free due to their relative isolation.
 A wild and proud samurai jinba from the mountains named
Matsukaze, known as the redheaded rock tiger, is caught while
protecting his son. He is traded to a feudal lord, and taken to his
land. There he meets another centaur, named Kohibari, whose village
was burned down as a child. He is a tame centaur, who had his arms
amputated when he was captured, and has given up hope of escaping
his human captors. If they can get over their differences and work
together, they just might be able to return to the wilds as free
centaurs.
