The Touhoku region, where the strong will of human beings and the harshness of nature compete. Gunshots now endlessly echo in the mountains of Ou. They are a group of hunters called "Matagi" who use guns and kill their prey with deep knowledge and skill. Nature is an enemy and a unique friend to these people who live with the depressing seasons. The stories told through their eyes are full of the abundant scent of Yamano. There is a lineup of all kinds of characters, such as the young Matagi man Sanshiro, who is known as "Wild Strawberry Drop", and Sarumaru, a master of rapid fire with contraindications.
