| Summary: |
"Based
on a seinen manga by Yamaguchi Takayuki, serialised in Champion
RED.
We are in the sixth year of the Kan’ei era (1629), at the
beginning of the Edo period. The story takes place inside the
castle of Suruga.
The first duel of a tournament which, in contravention of all
existing laws, allows the use of real swords, brings together
for the last time two mighty swordsmen whose intertwined past is
as beautiful and gruesome as the wounds upon their bodies…
An exceptional manga artist decides to tackle the forbidden work
by the last giant figure in samurai literature, only to give
birth to a colossal period drama filled with unspeakable tragedy
and cruelty!"
