Synopsis:

Set in feudal Japan, the series follows Manji, a swordsman burdened by an infamous past and an unusual immortality. His reputation as the "Hundred Man Killer" masks a deeper history tied to Yaobikuni, an ancient nun who gifted him unnatural resilience. Seeking atonement for his actions, Manji vows to kill a thousand wicked individuals, a task tied to the potential reversal of his condition.

His path intersects with Rin Asano, a young woman driven by a desire for vengeance against those who murdered her family. Initially hesitant, Manji finds himself compelled to protect Rin, embarking on a four-year journey fraught with violence and moral ambiguity. The story explores themes of redemption, justice, and the complexities of confronting one's past, as both characters grapple with their individual burdens within a world steeped in tradition and conflict.
