2021’s Steel of the Celestial Shadows, Volume Two is the second tankōbon of Daruma Matsuura’s historical-fantasy manga series. The 2024 English translation is by Caleb D. Cook.
Impoverished, self-loathing samurai Ryudo Konosuke wakes in a fog, covered in wounds whose cause he does not recall. He is happy to discover that he has received a notification of employment — finally, an end to being useless! — but he cannot help but feel he has forgotten something important.
Ryudo would be better off if he were to embrace his amnesia.
