 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A twelve volume novel series by NisiOisiN and illustrated by Take. Later adapted into a twelve episode anime. Despite the similar name, it is not related to Isin's other work Bakemonogatari.The legendary swordsmith Kiki Shikizaki made 1000 swords in his career. His skill was such that entire wars were decided by how many of his swords each side had. When the Shogun emerged victorious, he collected the first 988 of those swords... but those were just practice for Shikizaki.The final twelve swords were the pinnacle of the swordsmith's career. Each of them has powers so extraordinary that just a single man could defeat small armies while wielding one of them.Shogunate strategist Togame has been ordered to recover them. She first hired a ninja...but the worth of the swords is so great that the entire ninja clan defected the moment they recovered one. Then she hired a swordsman... but he kept the sword for himself after finding it and went rogue.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Her last hope is Shichika Yasuri, the seventh head and last practitioner of Kyotouryuu, the No Sword School. He and his elder sister live on an island cut off from civilization, and as such they need no money. His fighting style doesn't use a sword, so the famous weapons are useless to him.So why should he agree to help? Only one option remains — they must fall in love.

 Alas, Poor Villain: A number of Deviant Blade wielders and Maniwa Corps members have redeeming qualities or backstories that make you genuinely sympathize with them when they die.

 All for Nothing: Invoked in the final episodes. Hitei's machinations and Shichika's decisive kill amount to literally nothing, because the son of one of Masatsuna's descendants succeeded the seat of the 9th Shogun. History was not falsified in the end.
