太陽と月の鋼

In early 19th-century Japan, the samurai Kounosuke Ryuudo lives in destitute poverty. His mother's dying wish was for him to live as a splendid warrior, but a cruel curse repels and distorts any metal that comes near him, making it impossible for him to wield a sword. This affliction leaves him hopeless and ostracized, unable to find work or purpose in a world that values the blade above all else.

His despair drives him to attempt to end his life, but he is saved by a beautiful and mysterious woman. This encounter marks the beginning of Ryuudo's journey into a hidden world of magic that exists just a step away from his own, pulling him away from the edge of ruin and into an unforeseen destiny.
