Summary
One day, young Takashi Shirogane finds a mysterious bundle drifting down the river and decides to bring it home. Inside is a huge, wondrous, magical peach - and a sharp-toothed baby boy! Takashi's grandparents name the boy 'Momotarou', the Peach Son, though the boy calls himself 'Keith'. Adopted into the Shirogane family, this strange and inhuman child becomes Takashi's special responsibility, and with time, his closest friend.
But the world is a dangerous place, and there is a much bigger destiny in store for Momotarou. Disaster and duty will take the boys over the sea to the dreaded Onigashima, the island kingdom of the demon ogres. True companions will be found along the way, and so will gods, monsters, grief, triumph, and the truth about where Momotarou - Keith - came from.
For the 2023 Once Upon a Sheith Fairy Tale Bang and inspired by the Japanese folktale Momotarou (The Peach Son).
