As I said in yesterday's article, I want to write about the one of Nishioishin's novels "Katanagatari" today.
"Katanagatari" consists of twelve volumes, and is about the story in fictional ancient era like Japanese Edo period.
To summarize the story, the hero named "Shichika Yasuri" who is a human but also a sword, and the heroin named "Togame" start on a journey to gather twelve special swords which should be somewhere in their country together.
One of interesting settings of the story would be "the hero is a human but also a sword."
You would not understand what I said, would you?
No problem if so. That can't be helped.
That's because I didn't also figure out it in the first place.
"The hero is also a sword" means that he is a strong fighter as if he were a sword because of his special fighting style named "Kyoto-Ryu" which does not require any weapons to fight with someone.
He doesn't have his own motivations for his fights as he is nothing but a "sword", namely just a weapon which should be used by someone.
(To be continued...)
