KATANAGATARI

NISIOISIN

From the pen of the author of the legendary <i>MONOGATARI</i> novels comes another unique offering, available in English for the first time! The basis of an animated series, <i>KATANAGATARI</i> brings to life a swordless “swordsman” and a self-described “schemer” who embark on a quest to obtain twelve peculiar masterpiece blades. Featuring a gatefold color insert, beautiful interior art, and copious bilingual footnotes, this hardcover edition is the first of a quartet scheduled to collect the entire original run. Brimming with action, romance, and unexpected wisdom, often as tongue-in-cheek as <i>The Princess Bride</i>, and shot through with ninjas, samurais, and secret moves, <i>KATANAGATARI: Sword Tale</i> is <i>Musashi</i> for a new generation and a gift for any fan of adventure.
