I just came up with this idea today. I've enjoyed Japanese mythology for a while, so hopefully I can do something good with this.
Concept Corner #5 - The Imperial Tales
A young man inherits a family shrine in Japan from his recently late grandfather. When he's forced to return, he discovers that his grandfather carried on extensive dealings with a number of Shinto gods and legendary figures... and they're all eager to collect on his debts.
I've got a second premise, one I might be able to use for a sequel series, involving warlords caught fighting in a modern-day Sengoku period. Hopefully I can make them both work.
Japanese mythology... that's a cool interest. I'm really interested in the cultures of the Far East. This sounds like an intriguing story idea.
