Shura no Toki: Age of Chaos, Volume 1

As far back as the Hejian period, an elite class of warriors has passed down secret martial arts techniques that explain how to create deadly force with nothing but one's own bare hands. The clan, known as the Mutsu, is trained to overpower even the most deadly sword-wielding samurai without the aid of weapons. In SHURA NO TOKI, a young nobleman, who finds himself the target of assassins, is assigned a mysterious bodyguard named Yakumo Mutsu. Soon, the nobleman realizes his gigantic bodyguard has an uncanny ability to beat the odds under any hostile circumstances and emerge victorious. This mismatched pair may find they have more in common than meets the eye.
