4.5 out of 5
Nestled on a mountainside bordering the Kaigenese Empire, reside the formidable warriors, possessing supernatural abilities to manipulate the sea and wield icy blades, defending the Kusanagi Peninsula for centuries, earning their name ‘The Sword of Kaigen.’ Mamoru, a fourteen-year-old boy of the esteemed Matsuda family, is primed to uphold his family’s martial legacy and define his homeland. However, when an outsider arrives and provides revelations on Kaigen’s alleged age of peace, Mamoru realises that the empire he was bred to defend may have been built on a foundation of lies, and that his journey to embody the warrior he was destined to become may be rapidly slipping away. Meanwhile, Misaki convinced herself that when she married into the Matsuda family, she put her youthful passions behind. She concealed her sword and all other mementos from her time as a warrior in a distant nation, now focusing on being determined to be an appealing housewife and mother. However, Misaki finds the fighter returning to the surface as a result of her son’s rising curiosity for the outside world, the looming prospect of an invasion across the sea, and her cold husband’s irritation.
