Pieta ~Shiawase no Aoi Tori~

Overview

In a desperate situation, two sisters strive to survive. The Shōwa period has just begun. With modernization as their aim, the central government dispatched an official along with his family to a mountain village. As a missionary himself, he worked hard to save the villagers from their misguided traditions, striving to guide them towards the light of the Gospel. Yet, living for centuries under the absolute authority of the Gohara family, the deeply traditional village society refused to accept the newcomers, instead giving their all to drive them out. As a result, the official and his wife fell ill, losing everything to the Gohara family. The remaining daughters, two sisters left behind, were taken in as servants by the Gohara household. Yet there awaited them nought but a storm of hatred and jealousy.
