Steel of the Celestial Shadows, Vol. 10

By Daruma Matsuura

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

A down-and-out samurai named Ryudo Konosuke struggles through his hardscrabble life in early 19th-century Japan. 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. Destitute and hopeless, he decides to end it all. But when a beautiful and mysterious woman saves his life and his soul, it is the beginning of Konosuke's journey into a strange world of magic that exists a step away from his own.

During Toki's attack on Yumiko Village, Aki and Tsuki escape into a tunnel leading to a long-forgotten cell--with a prisoner still inside? As the battle continues, Bokutake looks into Toki's soul, hoping to find a clue in her past that will help them quell her evil rage. There turns out to be a way, but the risk is great, and the chaos that ensues will lead to Konosuke having to make a terrible bargain with his sworn enemies...
