The war against the Empire was brutal, and in the final barbaric act, the slain Emperor's body was cut apart, with the Heroes who slew him each taking home a grisly trophy. Yet while the heroes returned in glory, many of those who fought beneath them were left to fend for themselves in a world that no longer needed their skills. So, when former saboteurs Toru and Akari encounter a strange young girl carrying a giant coffin, they soon find themselves joining her odd mission: to retrieve all of the pieces of the Emperor's body. But why is she collecting them and who is this girl? The dead Emperor's daughter, perhaps? Or, as other girls also carrying coffins are spotted across the lands, could she be a vanguard of something far more sinister in the complete collection of CHAIKA - THE COFFIN PRINCESS!
