About Rose Guns Days
This brand-new, action-suspense thriller takes place in an alternate history Japan where a natural disaster during World War 2 forced Japan to capitulate to Sino-American forces before the use of the bomb, resulting in a nation divided piecemeal between China and America as both force the native Japanese into the minority as they compete for political superiority in the occupied nation.
When a war veteran and the proprietress of brothel find themselves at the center of multiple gang conflicts, the growing strife soon leads to the birth of a new mafia family aiming to gain power within City 23 to secure the future for their Japanese brethren. Blood, bullets, and tears will fly as mafia vie for control and clash with the occupation forces.
1944.
Synopsis
World War 2 for Japan ended abruptly. A massive disaster hit the whole island and left Japan in a devastating shape. The US-China Alliance proposed an unconditional surrender from a humane standpoint and the Japanese government accepted. The war for Japan ended then.
In order to restore the country that was still in a devastating shape, the US-China Alliance stationed themselves in Japan. Japan was split into two, not in a clear north and south division, but like a complicated chess game at a municipal administration level, to prevent Japan from becoming the stage of a new war between the United States and China. The two countries tried to reform Japan quickly as if they were competing to show their power.
As a result, Japan was able to get back on their feet from the rubbles in a matter of few years. However, the towns governed by China and the United States were modified in their own unique way, and Japan no longer looked like what it used to be.
Because of the massive immigrants entering the country from two sides, the Japanese people became a minority. The people who lost their homeland had to live in a foreign land called Japan.
The homeless race, the Japanese. However, by gathering together, they continued to live, cunningly and vigorously.
