## Resource

Welcome to Manga Monday ! This week we're diving into Kagurabachi , Takeru Hokazono's sword fighting revenge epic running in Weekly Shonen Jump that memed its way into the conversation and then backed it up with one of the best action manga in years. Chihiro Rokuhira grew up training under his father Kunishige, a legendary swordsmith whose six Enchanted Blades single-handedly ended a war. The goofy dad and the serious kid lived a quiet life together until a group of criminal sorcerers called the Hishaku murdered Kunishige and stole the blades. Now Chihiro wields his father's seventh and final blade on a blood soaked quest to reclaim what was taken. But this isn't just mindless revenge. It's about a father's belief that his creations should protect, not destroy, and a son carrying that forward even when hatred would be easier. The fight choreography is brutal, the lore keeps getting deeper, and Chihiro is the kind of protagonist who says almost nothing but hits you right in the chest with everything he does. Over 3 million copies sold. This one earned every bit of the hype.
