This is the first of a series (of undetermined length) that'll cover something specific in the lore of the Terra Nullius world. It might be something serious like a war or history event, or it might be something mundane like a television show or a book.

Introduction:
Nobana is an anime and manga series created by Daniel Lee that stars a ronin by the name of Himawari. Mr. Lee claims to have gotten the idea from seeing a hengeyokai swordsman in action, then wanting to put it into a more modern context. The likeness of the series' star is identical to Kembu Hiryuu. The reason for this is currently unknown. Some claim that Mr. Lee partially ripped off the idea from a popular comic book series The Knight, which stars a medieval knight doing battle with gunmen in a modern setting.
Nobana has over 100 episodes and even has a full-length featured film coming out soon. The manga series has been going strong for the past several years. It has risen in popularity in the past six months thanks to promotional tie-in events with the Genesis Corporation.
The overall hook for the series is that Himawari is a beautiful swordsman who travels a fictional world righting wrongs. He is said to smell like wildflowers and his scent is his most defining feature. Himawari's overall quest is to find his long lost sensei, though numerous events always seem to prevent him from getting close to the goal in order to extend the series for as long as possible. Himawari has several love interests in the show as well as reoccurring villains, and there is a wealth of fan-art and fan-fiction of the series online.
