Translated by Sam Bett
From NISOISIN, the renouned author that brought you the Monogatari Series and Zaregoto Series, comes his samurai action adventure story.

Swordless "swordsman" Shichika and self-described "schemer" Togame are on a quest to obtain twelve peculiar masterpiece blades. Pitting the former against his sister, who has acquired one of the legendary weapons, and the latter against a rival at court, Princess Negative, this hardcover edition, featuring a gatefold color insert, beautiful interior art, and copious bilingual footnotes, is the third of a quartet collecting a best-selling series from the former homeland of samurais and ninjas.
