Synopsis: Madara

A widely beloved series, this combines swordplay and sorcery while also drawing from Japanese folklore and futuristic themes. The chronicle speaks of a fabled hero who will topple the corrupt sovereign, Miroku, thus opening the door between the human realm and exotic Agalta. To thwart the prophecy, Miroku split his son's formidable form into eight fragments and dispersed them among his sinister lieutenants. The remnants were tossed into the river, but a rescuer named Tatara saved the infant and fashioned prosthetic limbs, naming him Madara. With childhood chum Kirin and the legendary blade Kusanagi at his side, Madara embarks on a quest to recover his lost parts. During his odyssey, he uncovers the truth about himself, his lineage, and his awe-inspiring abilities.
