Star-Slaying Swordsman
Hoshi Kiri no Kenshi · Star Slashing Swordsman · 星斬りの剣士
“…I want to slay the stars.” Julius, an ordinary villager, had a strange dream on the night of his eighth birthday—he dreamt about the life of a certain swordsman. Hoping to one day slay the twinkling stars in the night sky, the boy simply continued to swing a piece of stick, following in the footsteps of the swordsman who persevered in wielding his sword to the point of foolishness. Several years later, he encounters and fights a monster outside his village, finally awakening a deep, profound feeling inside of him. This is the story of a powerless boy who, through hard training and sheer discipline, goes beyond “absurdity” and “recklessness” to make even the impossible become possible.
