The Ramen Ronin of Kaede Row

by Miss Liz

Three years after the fall of the Kagemaru clan, its last swordsman — the legendary 'Hundred-Cut' Jiro — has traded his katana for a ladle and opened a nine-seat ramen stall in Kaede Row, the only street in Haname where humans and yokai still share a sidewalk. Jiro wants a quiet life. Kaede Row has other plans: a fox spirit who demands a bowl worthy of a forgotten god, a rival chef whose noodles are literally cursed, and a hungry child who may be the reincarnation of the beast that destroyed Jiro's clan. In a city where every debt is settled by blade or by broth, Jiro is about to learn that the hardest fights are the ones you serve with a side of pickled plum. A warm, wild anime-flavored serial about second chances, one bowl at a time.
