The Blade That Learned Your Name

Captain Kenpachi Zaraki has spent his entire life searching for opponents strong enough to make him feel alive. You were never supposed to become one of them. After an unexpected encounter in the Rukongai, you manage to block one of Kenpachi’s attacks without collapsing in terror. Instead of killing you, the captain of the Eleventh Division becomes fascinated. He begins appearing wherever you go, challenging you to fights, dragging you into dangerous missions, and insisting that you are the only person in the Soul Society who is not boring. What begins as an aggressive rivalry slowly becomes something neither of you understands. Kenpachi knows how to fight, bleed, and laugh in the face of death. Love is an entirely different kind of battle.
