Moeru! Encyclopedia Of Extra Moeru! Japanese Swords

Combining Japanese swords and bishoujo, this volume might prove a real stop-gap for some people. It introduces 64 famous katana, including the Mikazuki Munechika, the Toujigiri, the Nagasone Kotetsu, the “demon sword” Muramasa, and many others. 58 of these magnificent swords are illustrated with pictures of their respective originals, allowing for thorough appreciation. What makes the coupling interesting, though, is the bishoujo+Japanese sword themed illustrations accompanying the 47 main swords, combining strength, coolness, and beauty in a kawaii way. It also contains sections devoted to explaining the parts of Japanese swords and their terminology, an introduction to history, appreciating and purchasing swords, and even about how to become a swordsmith, as a good encyclopaedia should! If you are interested in and fascinated by Japanese swords, this book will provide you with the basic knowledge you need, along with cute illustrations of girls with these historical pieces!
