HARUKA: Beyond the Stream of Time - A Tale of the Eight Guardians

While on her way to high school with Tenma and Shimon, Akane Motomiya is drawn to an old well. With a sudden wind gust, a mysterious shadow appears.

Princess Fuji, a girl of the Star clan, accepts Akane and Shimon into her palace. There, Akane unintentionally unleashes the power of the Dragon God.

Akane is safely reunited with the once missing Tenma. However, she is still unable to accept that she is the Priestess of the Dragon God.

Major General, Tachibana-no-Tomomasa, visits Princess Fuji’s palace, offering Akane an invitation to the Flower Purifying Ceremony.

Thoughts of Akram continue to sway Akane, though the response of the Eight Guardians in sensing her troubles further proves their bonds with her.

One night, at the Chief Councilor’s banquet, the Vice Minister of Civil Affairs Fujiwara-no-Takamichi meets the dancer Shirin.

As white-winged vengeful spirits have appeared around Daimonji Mountain, Yorihisa remembers the “Nue” he encountered…

One day, Inori, an apprentice blacksmith, is sent on an errand to deliver a sword to the samurai working for the Senior Minister of State.

A young monk who dies after touching an eight string harp at Toji Temple. Akane visits the temple to see the harp and meets Eisen by the lakeside.

Sefle, a demon boy, reveals the secret to breaking the curse—one of the Eight Guardians must play the harp and give up his life.

A girl calling herself the “Priestess of the Dragon God” appears?! Akane seeks her out, while Tenma frantically searches alone for his missing sister.

Ran, the girl with the Demon clan, places Akane under a curse that calls for her death the next evening.

Akane agrees to Akram’s offer in order to save Ran, and suddenly is in the demon village. She enters a manor, where she finds Ran unconscious.

The midday sun is pierced by a white rainbow—a sign of ill omen. As coincidence would have it, that omen falls upon a day of abstention for Akane.

The search for the Talisman of the South is hindered because of the distance between Inori and Shimon, who still feel reserved around one another.

One night, Yorihisa sees a strange dream in which his beloved older brother appears and sets out east with Akane and Tenma.

Unable to find any clues, Takamichi grows anxious in his search for the Talisman of the West while Tomomasa] only causes him further irritation.

One day, Akane and the Eight Guardians meet Maiden Akane, a young woman who looks exactly like Akane.

Eisen is unexpectedly summoned by a former guardian while searching for his Talisman.

Shirin appears before Takamichi as he searches for the Talisman of the West. Takamichi sees the figure of his foster mother…

A drought continues to plague the capital. While the Eight Guardians discuss countermeasures, Inori feels that he must take action.

Shortly after the appearance of the Talisman of the South, Tenma pays a visit to Ran.

Akram steals away not just Ran, but three of the Four Sacred Talismans that the Eight Guardians had collected.

The Demon clan, having tainted the Four Sacred Talismans, seeks now to use Ran’s power of the Black Dragon to rule over the capital.

The Demon clan unleashes the Four Gods, plunging the capital into utter chaos.

Akane and the Eight Guardians head forth to their final battle. Akram, however, sacrifices his own body to summon the Black Dragon.
