Author:	Ikezawa Haruto
Artist:	Ikezawa Haruto
Genres:	Action Comedy Martial Arts School Life Shounen Sports Supernatural
Type:	Manga (Japanese)
Status:	Ongoing
Description:	Kurogane Hiroto is in high school, where he is academically the top of his class but literally the worst in physical activity. Born with a weak body, he has no endurance, speed nor strength and Hiroto wants nothing more than to be a hero. Fate teases him by giving him phenomenal eye sight, which allows him to see well beyond anyone else in sports, but his body is not able to react to any of it. He learns from his friend Shiratori, who wants to recruit him for the Kendo team, about a rumor about a ghost named Tojo Sayuri, who wields a katana and haunts an ally in the city. Half curious, Hiroto goes there only to find that the ghost is real and that Tojo Sayuri has been looking for a successor to her Sakura sword style for 150 years. Sayuri chooses him as the successor after being able to dodge her attack and forces him to learn the Sakura style. Even with the help of the ancient swordsman ghost, Hiroto has to overcome his poor motor skills in order to be the hero he always wanted to be.

MangaCow which used to be known as NoManga has picked up this title along with Zippy Ziggy, don't know if they frown against linking elsewhere on Batoto so I'll just post the Group's page on Batoto.

Enjoy (:

S2SScans finished it already. Not sure why is not here but you can simply check their website.

Since you're all bound to find out sooner or later, i'll break it to you now. It got cancelled... i know, it hurts but such is life when people don't buy manga. This is not the first great series to be cancelled nor, i'm afraid, shall it be the last.
._. Is that why there hasn't been an update? This Is the 3rd series in the last 5 months that I'v been reading, that got cancled. Dx

so this is ending soon... seem like you either have to completely go the superpower focused path or the more realistic path to keep the manga going. Can't remember any manga I've read lately that tried to retain somewhat realism while mixing in supernatural elements and kept going for 100 or more chapters.

54 was very unsatisfying. And this ends in 14 chapters? That's horrible.

So if you just really like to win....then you can beat anyone regardless of skill? Somehow I just can't ignore this one. (Coincidentally?) this manga has already ended.
