book card

The Shiranui swordmasters are the eternal enemies of the Mayakashi Yokai, demons that disguise themselves as humans and utilize magic that confounds the hearts of mortals and yearn to throw the world into endless night. Those two are archetypes from the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, and they contain a self contained lore that is told only through artwork. This is a written version, depicting my take on the story of the generation-spanning conflict between the Shiranui and the Mayakashi, attempting to fill in the blanks that couldn''''t be filled by the card art themselves.
