Kagurabachi, Vol. 9

Chihiro's cursed past sends him down a quest of bloody vengeance! Chihiro Rokuhira’s father, Kunishige, is the most famous swordsmith in the land. Thanks to his six enchanted blades, the war that has been gripping the nation ends, and peaceful days follow. After the war, he retrieves all six blades and hides them in the cellar of his workshop—but sorcerers raid his home and leave Kunishige dead in front of Chihiro. Many years later, Chihiro wields Kunishige’s seventh and final enchanted blade on a mission to retrieve the stolen swords! Chihiro draws the Enten to protect Iori, while Hiruhiko draws the Kumeyuri to settle his score with Chihiro. In that moment, Samura’s Owl locates the combatants, setting the stage for the master sword fighter Samura to enter the battle. Iori’s fate hangs in the balance as the Kyoto Bloodshed Hotel is transformed into a sea of blood.
