A down-and-out samurai who can't even hold a sword enters a strange world of magic searching for honor and redemption. Down-and-out samurai Ryudo Konosuke has a supernatural gift, but it is a power that has ruined his life. Konosuke, Aki, and Bokutake find themselves trapped in a game of chance with a mysterious gambler, Rabbit-Eyed Tenroku, and the wager is nothing less than Tsuki's life!

For Konosuke, cutting through the curse will require him to manifest his own gift in a way he never thought possible. Konosuke cannot wield a metal blade, but he may have a weapon stronger than steel…
