The galaxy is headed towards the end of its existence: It can’t withstand any longer than for another century. A samurai was given the mission to try and save all of the scattered planets and their respective inhabitants by finding Pandora's Box. The warrior god, Fudo Myo-o, sealed a secret that will save the entire world inside of Pandora's Box. In order to open it, someone will need to find the seven keys first. Hachimaru, a feeble boy who’s required medical assistance since birth, might just be one of them![1]
He can't run! He can't eat hard food. You can't get any weaker than the boy named Hachimaru. But his dream is to become a samurai. For a boy who can't even survive without the help of his father, that dream seemed impossible. But when a samurai cat appears before him, his whole life will change!
