Nihilistic Samurai scoundrel Nemuri Kyoshiro is back and as unkillable as ever in 4 increasingly twisted tales of (usually reluctant) derring-do, featuring Nuns-with-Guns, feuding family retainers, sadistic siblings, harems and hidden christians! The only thing you can be sure off -- when his sword begins to trace out the full-moon-cut, someone's about to take the long nap.
