Scarlet

Medieval Danish princess Scarlet vows to take revenge on her uncle Claudius, the murderer of her father, King Amleth. But when Claudius succeeds in poisoning Scarlet, she ends up in Hell, the world where life and death are indistinguishable.

Driven by her unfulfilled desire for revenge, Scarlet continues to search for Claudius. One day, Scarlet sees a ray of light falling from the sky. It is Hijiri, a young man from contemporary Japan who has travelled through space and time to Heaven. At first, things do not click between them, as they have different values. But during their journey, they become very fond of each other. Will Scarlet succeed in getting revenge on her enemy?
