The Sword of Shibito

    (CPM Manga, 2004)
™ and © 2002 Hideyuki Kikuchi/Missile Kakurai

In a hidden castle in the midst of demon–ridden fields, a dark secret rests. The soul of Shibito, a long–dead samurai, has been trapped by his father. He awaits the day when it can be transferred to a new body, and Shibito can claim his rightful place as head of the Saezuki Clan. Kinzou, a cowardly pharmacist, becomes an unlikely accomplice when his traveling companion becomes the “donor” of Shibito’s new body. Kinzou is forced into service as the guardian and teacher of a restless soul, but while one man guides him, others work to see that Shibito never fulfills his destiny.
