Kagurabachi, Vol. 12

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 confronts the sword master who has taken over Yura's body. The sword master declares his misguided intention to rid the world of all evil people, so Chihiro and Samura team up to take him down. The difference in skill is obvious, and Samura suffers a grave injury. However, as their battle continues, Chihiro gradually learns how to fight back!
