PLOT
Shichika Yasuri practices Kyotouryuu, a sword-fighting method that involves using one's own body as a weapon, in an Edo-era Japan that is rich in different sword-fighting techniques. Shichika, the mysterious seventh head of the Kyotouryuu school, lives in seclusion with his sister Nanami until the obnoxious strategist Togame interrupts their lives one day. Togame boldly asks Shichika to assist her in her goal to gather 12 unique swords, dubbed the "Deviant Blades," for the shogunate. Shichika agrees, caring more about the girl than petty politics, and sets off on a quest. The strong wielders of these legendary weapons, as well as other power-hungry beings attempting to undermine Togame's goal, stand in their way. The pair must build an unbreakable partnership as they continue on a perilous and unpredictable route if they are to succeed against their enemies.
