Synopsis

Eighteen years ago, during the Seitei War, Kunishige Rokuhira was the most renowned man in Japan. As a master swordsmith, he forged six enchanted blades, each imbued with a special power that secured the nation's victory. After the war, Kunishige retired to the mountains with his son, Chihiro, who began diligently learning the craft. Nearing his fifteenth birthday, the level-headed Chihiro resolved to one day succeed his father. However, his plans were derailed when he witnessed a group of powerful sorcerers kill his father and steal the sacred blades.

Three years after the incident, Chihiro lives on with hatred in his heart and an intense desire for revenge. Wielding the Enten, the seventh and final enchanted blade Kunishige created in secret, Chihiro cuts down evildoers associated with the Hishaku—the organization he believes to be responsible for his father's death. Chihiro has yet to unlock the Enten's full potential or perfect his swordsmanship, but he will stop at nothing to retrieve the stolen katanas, avenge his father, and honor the legacy he left behind.

Preliminary (2/? eps)
Kagurabachi is the greatest piece of fiction to ever come into existence in the history of reality itself. Kagurabachi has transcended the concept of being peak and is above all subjective and objective ratings, it is not possible to accurately describe kagurabachi using human words or emotions.

But in all seriousness Kagurabachi is the newest shounen jump series that has received unbelievable hype among english speaking fans. The hype isn't necessarily because it's that good or anything, it's just a funny joke. The actuality of Kagurabachi is that its a pretty generic shounen with an edgy protagonist and good art. At the time of writing this ...

Preliminary (7/? eps)
Let's put memes aside, Kagurabachi is just ok, but it has potential.

Kagurabachi is, for now, solid manga. We got bit of world building, bit of power system and important characters for the story and main goal for MC. But it didn't do anything groundbreaking.

Art isn't really detailed and some faces look bit bland, but few action panels look good. Characters are ok, bit plain but manga is still new so it's excusable. Power system is combination of jujutsu kaisen and demon slayer. But I have a felling that it brings nothing new to the table. If it doesn't make itself stand out it might ...

Preliminary (14/? eps)
At this point in time, 14 chapters of Kagurabachi are officially out, providing enough material to form a solid first impression of the manga. Looking back at the community's initial reactions to Kagurabachi, most people made memes about it due to its generic and edgy premise. However, as the weeks went by and more chapters were released, the memes died down, leaving the original readers either dropping the manga entirely or sticking with it to see if it would turn out to be the biggest fighting Shonen of the new decade, as some were saying.

In the early stages of a manga's storyline, there needs to ...
