RELATED: BLADE & BASTARD Anime Announced BLADE & BASTARD, a dark fantasy light novel series set in the world of the classic RPG "Wizardry," is published in Japan by Drecom Media under their Dre Novels imprint, and has already been released in more than 10 languages worldwide. The manga adaptation drawn by Makoto Fugetsu ( Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-: The Week at the Mansion Arc ) has also been serialized on the free web comic site “DRE Comics.” J-Novel Club also publishes an English language version of the series, while Yen Press publishes an English language version of the manga adaptation. The story of BLADE & BASTARD is described as follows: What if at the end of your adventure, you were to lose your soul one day? When that time comes, then the next adventurer will take care of it. Deep in the unexplored reaches of the dungeon, a corpse is discovered—one that shouldn’t exist. After Iarumas is resurrected, his memories of life before death are gone, and he spends his days delving into the dungeon to retrieve the bodies of dead adventurers. Can they be revived as well? Or will God reduce them to piles of ash on the altar? Either way, Iarumas collects his finder’s fee. And though his skills earn him some grudging respect, he’s also scorned for this cold, utilitarian attitude. The living keep their distance—Iarumas consorts primarily with the dead. That is, until he meets Garbage, a feral young swordswoman who’s the sole survivor of a massacred party. With Garbage by his side, Iarumas ventures deeper, scouring the dungeon for clues to his past, avoiding monsters, traps, and the inevitability of a permanent ashen demise.
