Story

Synopsis

Years after a brutal war, a fatal illness called Black Wolf disease is spreading. The empire is hit hard, while the people of Aquafa remain immune. Van, a former soldier and the only survivor of his clan, breaks free and takes an orphan girl named Yuna with him. Only a few people have outlived the sickness, and these two are among them. That puts them at the center of the conflict, because they are believed to be the cure.

⚠ Background — may contain spoilers
The Deer King (Shika no Ou: Yuna to Yakusoku no Tabi) adapts Nahoko Uehashi's fantasy novels, published by Kadokawa in two volumes in September 2014, which won the fourth Japan Medical Novel Award. Production I.G made the film. Masashi Ando, the animation director and character designer known for Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away, made his directorial debut here, sharing the job with Masayuki Miyaji. Taku Kishimoto wrote the screenplay and Harumi Fuuki composed the score. The pandemic pushed the release back, and the film reached Japanese theaters in early 2022. GKIDS gave it a limited US release in June 2022.
