Synopsis
Iori Sengoku summoned by Tokugawa Shogunate to battle top martial artists alongside sword-obsessed Ran Ichinose.
It's been two years since the infamous Unabara Tournament, but things aren't over for Iori Sengoku—in fact, he's received a summons from the Tokugawa Shogunate. He's to join in battle against the Shogunate's top martial artists to determine the strongest of the lot. Not only that, he's accompanied by the sword-crazy Ran Ichinose. (Source: Kodansha USA)
