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 The Princess Bride, and shot through with ninjas, samurais, and secret moves, Sword Tale is Musashi for a new generation and a gift for any fan of adventure.

What if Monogatari's Ararararagi, Zaregoto's Ii and Jun "Humanity's Strongest" Aikawa, and Okitegami Kyouko no Bibouroku's titular forgetful detective all attended school together? In 2002, NisiOisiN won a Mephisto Prize prize for his debut novel Zaregoto, Book 1: The Kubikiri Cycle. Part of the 15th anniversary celebration will be 4-panel crossover gag manga Seishun Kijin-den! 240 Gakuen (240 is a pronunciation pun - 240 can be read as "Nishio," so "Youth Oddball Story! Nisio Academy").
