When he was 21, Chiba Eijiro challenged the renowned swordsman Muta Takachun. Muta Takachun was so frightened that he feigned illness and stayed home, not daring to face Chiba Eijiro, and vented in his diary, cursing Chiba Eijiro as someone suddenly causing him trouble.

The Skill of Chiba, Chiba's Little Tengu, the current strongest Great Sword Hero in Edo... No matter what kind of praises are given to this extraordinarily talented prodigy, people never feel it's an exaggeration.
Frankly speaking, Chiba Eijiro is like a "genius crusher."
Those so-called "Sword Masters," and names given such as "this ghost" or "that dragon," who are considered the chosen ones by others, either suffer a crushing defeat or a tragic loss when facing Chiba Eijiro.
Chiba Eijiro's strength is incredibly strong—yet that is not the most terrifying aspect.
The most terrifying aspect is that he is still extremely young!
