Kotei no Himawari Manhua

Title: Kotei no Himawari As Takuro gazed at the familiar yet altered landscape of Aohata Village, a sense of foreboding gripped his heart. The sunflowers that once danced in the breeze now stood still, their vibrant yellow petals imbued with a strange otherworldly glow. Whispers of a long-forgotten melody filled the air, drawing him deeper into the mystery that shrouded this place.
