Live with a Sword

Kenji and Shintaro, once esteemed as the castle town's best Samurai, were anticipated to become the next Sensei and top Samurai until an assault changed their fate. While saving their lord, Kenji's injury marked the end of his swordsmanship career, and the loss of his purpose led to a life of drunkenness, earning him the nickname "the quitter." Despite this, Kenji's wife, Rin, continued to support him, recognizing his enduring passion. Following Sensei Yamamoto's death, a will declared that the next Sensei would be determined by a showdown between Kenji and Shintaro, leading Rin to dedicate herself to Kenji's redemption through rigorous training. The time has come for Kenji to confront Shintaro.
