Fantasy
Mariko Oshiro is not your average Tokyo cop. As the only
female detective in the city’s most elite police unit, she
has to fight for every ounce of respect, especially from her
new boss. While she wants to track down a rumored cocaine
shipment, he gives her the least promising case possible.
But the case—the attempted theft of an old samurai
sword—proves more dangerous than anyone on the force could
have imagined. The owner of the sword, Professor Yasuo Yamada, says it was
crafted by the legendary Master Inazuma, a sword smith whose
blades are rumored to have magical qualities. The man trying
to steal it already owns another Inazuma—one whose deadly
power eventually comes to control all who wield it. Or so
says Yamada, and though he has studied swords and
swordsmanship all his life, Mariko isn’t convinced. But Mariko’s skepticism hardly matters. Her investigation
has put her on a collision course with a curse centuries old
and as bloodthirsty as ever. She is only the latest in a
long line of warriors and soldiers to confront this power,
and even the sword she learns to wield could turn against her.
