It seems I no longer need to banged my head in understanding all the kanji, a friend found an online translation of Tasogare no Kishi, Akatsuki no Sora ( 黄昏の岸、暁の天） [The Shore at Twilight, The Sky at Daybreak]. The continuing story of Taiki, and Tai Kingdom.

Narrates the quest of Risai, the general of Zui Province to Kei Kingdom to ask for the Kei’s Empress for help.

How Tai Kingdom’s throne ended vacant one year after a new King was appointed by Taiki.

How must Youko , Empress of Kei, react to such a cry for help when Heaven mandates that crossing to another kingdom no matter how noble your intention is one of the gravest sin to be committed by any ruler. Youko must somehow find a way to extend help to Tai without violating any of the precepts from Heaven and putting her own Kingdom in danger.

In the anime we where left hanging as to what really happen Taiki. In this 2 volumes, everything is explained. I love the part where all the Kirin put their efforts to finding Taiki and having the rest of the Kingdoms extend their help without violating any rule.

Will they be able to find Taiki? Will Taiki be able to remember who he was after 6 years of being missing ?

Although the book focuses in the search of Taiki, it does yet says whether Tai Kingdom will be restored or they will be able to find the King. The Chronicles of Tai is far from over..
