After Endless Reincarnations, Mikazuki Finally Crashed and Burned

After five years, the Honmaru finally welcomed a new companion: Mikazuki Munechika, the most beautiful sword under heaven. The sword tsukumogami of the Honmaru had often heard stories about Mikazuki from others: self-centered, aloof, gentle on the surface but cold underneath. But the man before them seemed rather different from the rumors... "Mikazuki, whom I only just met, seems to know my preferences very well." "And when he looks at me, it's as if he's known me for a long time..." "In human terms, could Lord Mikazuki be in love with me?" Mikazuki had gone through an endless number of cycles in this Honmaru. Each one was the same, yet each one was different. Over the long years, he came to know every sword, from their habits and preferences to their pasts and futures. And whenever the disaster known as the "Great Invasion" arrived, he would return to the beginning. But this time, it seemed he had safely passed that point... Oh no. Mikazuki thought, if only he had known, he shouldn't have let himself go from the very beginning. [Reading Guide] 1. Lots of one-sided crushes 2. There may or may not be couples 3.
