Tasakeru by BHS

A Story of Another Earth 

This is the story of an Earth devoid of humankind.  Man and his ancestors have simply never been, but in his absence, new civilizations have grown and prospered.

On a small island called Sankami, somewhere in what would be Earth’s Pacific ocean, eight sentient species have evolved.  Each have their own laws, customs, and beliefs.  The one thing that unites them all is the worship of three Gods that came to the island fifteen-hundred years ago, an event which formed the basis of their society.  However, even in this the eight sentient species are in conflict . . .  The great city built in celebration of the Three Gods now stands divided by stone walls, its original unifying purpose now forgotten.  The city maintains a fragile peace through an atmosphere of strict enforcement.  When someone becomes “dangerous” enough to threaten the truce, they are exiled forever to Tasakeru, an uncharted forest on the island’s eastern side.

Those that are exiled call themselves Outcasts.  In time, their adventures will become legend.

This is their story.

Note: Tasakeru contains some graphic violence and harsh language.


An ongoing series, with new episodes sporadically

A decent story to occupy some time with.

It is an interesting tale. The characters are fairly well rounded even though there hasn’t been a lot time spent on backstory, it is slowly leaking into the main story and a lot can be figured out by context, of course there is the one character that we the reader yearn to learn more about, but it just keeps me waiting for more so I can finally understand this particular ‘person’. A few things seem to work out way too easily for our Outcasts but it doesn’t detract from interest, there are too many other things going on that keep me turning the page. There are a few chuckles, a few growls, and even some eye-rolling so far but there are only a few chapters written as of yet so I’ll stick around for the ride and see where it takes us for now.
