A newborn boy is found beside the body of a woman who died in a forest and is taken in by the swordsmith Amon. The boy, named Gai, grows up as Amon's apprentice. During the forging of a sword, an accident costs him his right arm. Amon crushes and reforges the demon sword Shiryu, a blade of demonic power handed down for generations, into an artificial arm to replace it. With a cursed weapon now fused to his body, Gai must learn to master its violent urges. The story follows a boy bound to a demonic weapon and drawn into a life of battle, and is framed as a tale of the beauty of a weapon against the ugliness of people, or the cruelty of weapons against the beauty of humans.
