Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Summer

Once upon a time, there was Winter.Winter was once the only season in the world-but such an existence was too lonely to bear, and so it created Spring to love. Before long, the earth wished for more time to rest in the cycle, and Summer and Autumn were born. The ones who carry the cycle are called the Agents of the Four Seasons. Hinagiku, the Agent of Spring, disappeared from this land ten years ago, taking the season of spring with her. Now, after incredible hardship, she has returned to restore the cycle to its proper state-and, as in the myth passed down since the dawn of time, she sends her love to Winter.

“Don’t Leave Me.”Sakura Himedaka is the Guard of Spring and loyal blade of the young goddess Hinagiku. She has chosen to take her revenge on those who kidnapped her beloved lady, as well as the ones who stood back and let it happen. She will one day die protecting Hinagiku, and she has abandoned any threat to her resolve—even her love for the man who once taught her so much. This battlefield is only for those with an iron will. Now the dance of spring can truly begin.

“I love your summer.”After the long-awaited return of the Agent of Spring, Hinagiku Kayo, and New Year’s surprise attack on Summer and Autumn, the Four Seasons have formed an unprecedented united front. While they successfully overcame many hardships, a new challenge has arisen. The Hazakura sisters have become the first dual Agents in history. Is this a good or bad omen? Summer has arrived, and the Agents’ story begins once more.

The arrival of two Agents of Summer has created a political nightmare, and the Agents themselves have ultimately suffered the consequences. Thanks to rumors that they are cursed by the gods, Ruri and Ayame were forced to break off their engagements when a wolf appeared on Mount Ryugu. Not to be deterred, they have arrived on the sacred mountain to meet the Archer of Twilight and solve the mystery themselves—but the shadows around the wolf go deeper than they know.  Meanwhile, the conflict among the conservative and progressive factions within the Towns rages on, and various ulterior motives are at play. Those involved in the unrest are all gathering in one place: Ruri's fiance Raicho Kimikage, Ayame's fiance Renri Rouo, and the Agents of the Four Seasons themselves. When the storm finally calms, will the twins be with their loves, or torn apart forever?

No matter how dark the night, the sun will always rise.Kaya Fugeki is a teenage girl living in Enishi, an island at the northern tip of the Yamato archipelago. She brings the day to Yamato as the Archer of Dawn, granted powers similar to those of the Agents of the Four Seasons. The young goddess attends school along with the people she serves, yet nobody except for her handsome young retainer knows she is the country’s Day. Thus begins Kaya and Yuzuru’s story.

But their peaceful days are shattered by a request for a diplomatic meeting in a foreign overseas. Young Autumn accepts, but she has no idea the tangled web of intrigue that awaits her across the ocean…
