From the pen of the author of the legendary MONOGATARI novels comes another unique offering. KATANAGATARI brings to life a swordless "swordsman" and a self-described "schemer" who embark on a quest to obtain twelve peculiar masterpiece blades. Featuring beautiful interior art and copious bilingual footnotes, this paperback edition is the first of a quartet brimming with action, romance, and unexpected wisdom.
