Synopsis

The crossed scythes on Shuranosuke Sakaki’s clothes announce a swordsman accustomed to walking beside death. When the Nakura clan’s princess Mayu is abducted, the wandering warrior accepts a dangerous rescue mission.

Between him and the captive stand the Seki ninja, whose unusual fighting techniques make this no ordinary clash of blades. Shuranosuke must carry his composure and lethal skill into enemy territory, where a single mistake could cost the princess her life.
