Overview

Manji is an amoral swordsman, who has been cursed with eternal life. He has grown tired of living with all the death he has created. He has no skills other then those of killing, thus he forms a plan to regain his mortality: he shall kill one hundred evil men for each good one he has killed. The old witch who afflicted Manji with immortality agrees to Manji's proposition and Manji is set on his path to kill one thousand evil men. On his journey he meets a young girl, Rin, who has her own vengeance to seek against the sword school whose members slaughtered Rin's family. Rin and Manji journey together, each hoping to find some kind of peace. In their way are many varied enemies. Rin and Manji are almost constantly under attack and must learn to live their lives, avoiding being consumed by revenge. (Source: Anime News Network)

Synopsis 日本語

ストーリーの詳細は無限の住人の登場人物のそれぞれの項目を参照。剣客集団・逸刀流（いっとうりゅう）に両親を殺され、実家の剣術道場を潰された少女・浅野凜（あさのりん）は仇討ちを遂げるため、不老不死の肉体を持つ男・万次（まんじ）に用心棒を依頼する。依頼を受けた万次は、凜と共に逸刀流との戦いに身を投じることになる。当初、凛と万次は浅野道場を襲い両親を殺害した逸刀流の者たち（すなわち直接の仇敵）や天津影久を殺害し、逸刀流を潰すことを目的としていた。しかし逸刀流や、それを潰そうとする無骸流、幕府の刺客などと斬り合い、時に親交をむすぶ中で「天津影久を殺して逸刀流を潰せば個人的な復讐は果たせるが、はたしてそれでいいのか？」と思い悩むようになる。
