The plan of the great and terrible warrior Hioito is to conquer the entire world and submit it to his desires. The next step is to take the Empire of the Sun, the most beautiful and advanced of all empires. Governed by a woman, as skilled as he is in all the arts, Hioito learns that the Empire of the Sun is without an army, completely unprotected. He then decides to see with his own eyes what is happening and give an ultimatum to the Empress. Each book has about 20 pages, presented in loose sheets, inside an envelope cover. In addition to the text, each book includes an original illustration.
