33 chapters

6 volumes

In a forest, a woman dies under mysterious circumstances, leaving behind an infant boy who is discovered and taken in by the swordsmith Amon. A decade later, the boy, now called Gai and serving as Amon's apprentice, loses his right arm in a sword-making accident. To remedy this, Amon fashions a prosthetic limb from a powerful cursed sword named "Shiryuu," which has been inherited across numerous generations. This change sets the stage for Gai's path. Gai, now armed with a demonic weapon, confronts a grim destiny filled with unending battle. The narrative explores contrasting viewpoints—whether it depicts "a beautiful weapon and an ugly person" or "the cruelty of weapons and the beauty of humanity." This story unfolds as a fresh interpretation of the comic noir genre.
