The day after a promotion exam, Glen was summoned to the guild and expelled by the party leader. The reason given was the "bad rumours" that followed Glen.

Alone, he returned to his hometown for the first time in a long while to catch up. "Glen, leave this place." What awaited him there were the people who raised him believing in the bad rumours. "If you think I'm like that, then I'll be like that" he shouted as he disappeared into the forest. This is a story about an adventurer trying to regain the things he has lost.

Zenkouji temple, Nagano. One day, a giant doguu – a clay statue from Japan's ancient Joumon period – appears, and starts to rampage through the city. No one can stop this savage, unearthly war god… No one but the ancient earthen warrior Haniwatt, that is. It's up to the government's secret counter-“doguun” agency to perform the age-old summoning ritual, transform into Haniwatt, and put an end to the destruction. In this dark, deliberately paced story inspired by Showa-era tokusatsu shows such as Kamen Rider and Godzilla, the monsters are based on real-life archaeological finds.
