The United States under Japan's "cultural colonization"
The worldview of Showa Mikuni Monogatari is based on an alternate space-time. In 1966, Japan's economy developed rapidly, and at that time, the United States ushered in a large number of Japanese immigrants, and Japanese culture was quietly "transplanted" to the American continent. Under the influence of two very different cultures, a unique landscape is fused.
There are many unusual buildings in the game, such as the Golden Gate Bridge with Japanese lanterns, the jizo statues everywhere, the gas station painted with ukiyo-e, the billboard of the Statue of Liberty in kimono, and so on. The fusion of misplaced elements presents us with a wonderful world.

Butterfly is an obscure action movie stunt performer, and in order to follow her film dreams, she and her sister followed the tide of immigration to Hollywood, which has been renamed "New Yokohama City". But they didn't want to be attacked and killed just after arriving at the airport.

The world order has collapsed completely due to catastrophes for unknown reasons, and there are strange monsters and abominable zombies everywhere, and the remaining human beings are fighting for the only remaining resources.
In order to find her missing sister and find out why the whole world has changed so much, Butterfly found a motorcycle and a motorhome from the ruins and embarked on a journey across the United States. Surviving on this land is not an easy task, and Butterfly will experience a variety of characters and stories during the journey, and feel the customs and customs of "Showa and the United States" under the catastrophe.
