Type: Manga
Volumes: 6
Chapters: 33
Status: Completed
Published: Nov 1, 2012 to Sep 1, 2015

Serialization: Heros
Synopsis: A woman died a suspicious death in the forest. Beside her, the sword-smith Amon finds a new-born boy with a tragic fate and takes him in. About 10 years later, this boy who is named Gai and who has become Amon's apprentice, loses his right arm in an accident while making a sword. Amon decides to take a sword called "Shiryuu", which is a sword with demonic powers that has been passed down for generations, and fashion it into an artificial arm for Gai. That was the beginning of it all...

The story of this boy, who has become one with a demonic weapon and is drawn into a cruel fate in which he must face countless battles, can be seen as either the story of "a beautiful weapon and an ugly person" or of "the cruelty of weapons and the beauty of humans". This is a completely new world of comic noir.

Side notes: Well this manga is here 'cause there was supposed to be an anime about it but I'm not sure what's happening with it. Also I's soo sure that there would be an English translation for this but it seems that there isn't. So nothing much to say yet... but I'm keeping eye of this.^-^

P.S. Baka keeps this series open but Mal states that it's completed... well there is the sequel in publishing so maybe it is in the end already.
