What is Haigakura anime about?
The anime is a fantasy series that takes place in a world where Gods are present. Four evil Gods who acted as the pillars of the world ran away, leaving the world to crumble on its own. To take care of the situation, people called on the Kashikan to capture these runaway deities.
Ichiyou is one of these Kashikan whose aim is to capture these evil Gods and save his foster father, who was selected to support the world as a pillar in place of these Gods. With the help of a fellow God Tenkou, will Ichiyou be able to capture all these evil Gods and bring the world back to a balanced state?
