Blurb:
He died, then became a sword spirit.
It all happened so suddenly that he, having lost his original name and forced to accept “Yamanbagiri Kunihiro,” was caught completely off guard.
Yamanbagiri Kunihiro: ...Did my career as a star just end at its peak?
After going over his memories and getting used to the empty citadel, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro, still unable to let go of his dream, caught sight of his reflection in the lake one day.
With looks like these, not becoming an idol would be a crime against nature!
His dream of becoming a star sprang back to life.
Then someone fell out of the sky... Oh, this guy says he's a sword spirit too.
After discovering they were from the same hometown, Yamanbagiri Kunihiro considered the possibility of debuting as a duo.
But as one old acquaintance after another dropped in, and it turned out they had all been celebrities before, even though they didn't know each other, they unanimously decided to debut as a group!
They say that the swords forged in Citadel No. 1413, a corrupted citadel that was purified, are all out of character. They dream of becoming stars, and they're already putting that dream into practice.
Swords who aren't from the same hometown: That's not me, I didn't do it, don't make things up!
Other saniwa: Isn't the saniwa of that citadel going to do anything about this...? Damn it! I'm so jealous!
The saniwa who doesn't exist: ...:)
Flowers and birds, spreading hope through song.
Skywalker's national tour is about to begin!
Note: I left Touken Ranbu a long time ago, so relying on memory and fanworks means some out-of-character moments are inevitable.
The order of events in the blurb differs somewhat from the story, but the events themselves won't change. Please keep that in mind.
The story includes Kogitsunemaru, whom I came to love after reading fanworks. This is my take on him.
The writing is rough, and the plot is probably a slow burn.
Characters from other anime will appear. Out-of-character moments ahead.
Theme: Only through constant effort can you achieve your dreams
