Rin has spent countless days chasing the murderer of her parents, and now she has Anotsu Kagehisa where she wants him, but the deathly ill Anotsu is too weak for the honor-bound Rin to strike down. The spirit of revenge is about to get thicker as Manji, Rin's immortal bodyguard, finally reunites with his charge as this pot of retribution prepares to boil over. And so Manji is faced with a strange irony-to save Rin, he must cut down the men who are out to kill Anotsu, Manji's sworn enemy!
