I am so glad that there's an anime is based on this wonderful story The introduction, the beginning, and the conclusion of this story is so worth it to read Jinta The protagonist of the series. He is a skilled swordsman raised in a remote village. After a tragic event, he embarks on a journey that intertwines with supernatural forces, demons (kijin), and historical figures. Jinta is calm, reserved, and highly disciplined, embodying the ideal of a samurai despite being an outsider to traditional clans. His swordsmanship is exceptional, making him a feared warrior among both humans and supernatural beings. Throughout the story, Jinta encounters various kijin—supernatural entities withimmense power. Some are enemies, while others serve as allies or ambiguous figures who challenge his beliefs and force him to grow as both a warrior and a person. The series blends historical events with mythology, creating a rich world where Jinta’s story unfolds across different eras, making it more than just a traditional samurai tale. Overall a 10/10 novel that the anime is going to be based off of.
