Sword of the Demon Hunter - S01

When Jinta and Suzune ran away from home as children, Motoharu, the virtuous sentinel of Kadono Village, took them in, along with his daughter Shirayuki. The village was ruled by its shrine maiden, Itsukihime, and only a chosen few were permitted to interact with her. After Itsukihime died, Shirayuki was appointed to take her place. Wanting to stay in contact with her, Jinta worked hard for years and was finally chosen as the next sentinel. As the village's protector, Jinta's duty is to eliminate any threats. One day, he encounters a demon in a nearby forest. At the end of the battle, the demon makes a proclamation about the destined ruler of all demonkind. He attaches his severed arm to Jinta, turning him into an unaging demon man. By the time Jinta comes to, Kadono is on fire. Suzune has transformed into the demon from the divination, and due to a series of misunderstandings, she murders Shirayuki and flees. Devastated, Jinta cannot forgive Suzune for what she has done, and he sets out on a journey to find her. As Jinta travels across Japan through the eras, he strives to protect as many people as he can from violent demons. In his quiet moments, he wonders what he should do when he finally faces his childhood friend again.
