Utawarerumono: The False Faces

Haku, a nameless man with no memories, awakens in the woods and is discovered by Kuon, a young girl with animal features. Kuon befriends him, names him Haku after a local historical figure, and protects him from the dangers of the forest, including giant centipede-like creatures and a mysterious red slime. As Haku navigates Kuon's town and eventually travels to the Yamato capital with her, he learns he is unique among his peers due to his lack of animal features. Along the way, he becomes embroiled in the politics of Yamato and works to uncover the mysteries surrounding the red slimes and prevent war with neighboring countries.
