Steel of the Celestial Shadows Vol. 03

A down-and-out samurai who can’t even hold a sword enters a strange world of magic searching for honor and redemption.

Down-and-out samurai Ryudo Konosuke has a supernatural gift, but it is a power that has ruined his life.

As Konosuke and Aki decide to put Edo behind them, another strange assassin comes calling, and life or death will depend on Konosuke controlling his power to warp metal, or losing himself to it…
