MAL Description:\\xa0

A samurai manga about a boy named Zan. Zan\'s father was a legendary swordsman who used a sword which had no blade (think Sakabatou from Ruroken). Zan\'s father died one day, and ever since, Zan has wanted to follow in his fathers footsteps.

\\xa0

The manga starts off with Zan being transferred to a new high school in his second year. When pushed, Zan somehow becomes super strong and has incredible sword technique that allows him to beat his enemies.
