  • Pilgrim Jäger(ピルグリム・イェーガーPirugurimu Iēgā) is a Japanese manga series written by Tō Ubukata and illustrated by Mami Itō. It is published in English by Media Blasters Press. Jäger means Hunter in German. Pilgrim Jäger is a historical fiction that takes place in Europe in the year 1521, at the time of the Protestant Reformation. The story follows two women, Adele the acrobat and Karin the fortuneteller. Afraid of being accused of witchcraft, they disguise their special powers, working as common performers (professionisti) to earn enough money to buy indulgences from the Catholic Church that will hopefully free them from their sins. However, their powers soon get them involved in a great religious battle involving the Medici family, the Este family, Girolamo Savonarola's "prophecies," and many others. Savonarola's prophecies or the Friar's Predictions are the main basis for the series. These prophecies made many predictions about the Catholic Church; even the demise of Rome. Before all these predictions, a battle was to take place. The Seven Great Sinners were the "Executors" of the prophecies. They became sin incarnate. With complete disregard for Christian doctrine they committed sins to bring about the fall of Rome. The "30 Silver Coins" were godsends to Rome. They were the "Obstructors" who were to protect Rome. The "Witnesses" were chosen to watch over the battle between the executors and the obstructors.
