Kurogane, Volume 2

STEEL RESOLVE

Inside samurai Jintetsu's robot body beats a broken heart. Although he has avenged his father's death, Jintetsu is fated to live life as a lonely drifter–a man with no home, no title, and no peace.

But then he runs into fellow assassin Renji the Firewalker, whose fate seems to be intertwined with his own. Jintetsu and Renji have worked together in the past, and share an unspoken bond of understanding and respect–that is, until Ryujiro, Jintetsu's childhood friend, hires the cyborg samurai to assassinate Renji. Now Jintetsu must choose between his friends–and whichever side he takes will lead him into grave danger.
