A down-and-out samurai named Ryudo Konosuke struggles through his hardscrabble life in early 19th-century Japan.
But when a beautiful and mysterious woman saves his life and his soul, it is the beginning of Ryudo\'s journey into a strange world of magic that exists a step away from his own..
Destitute and hopeless, he decides to end it all.
Will he ever be able to wield a sword, much less live the life of an honorable samurai? It is said that a samurai\'s spirit rests in their sword--and Konosuke can\'t even pick one up thanks to a cruel curse that repels anything made of metal that gets near him.
His dear departed mother\'s last hope was for him to live his life as a splendid warrior, but a cruel curse repels and distorts any metal that gets near him.
