From the fading warmth of his mothers\'s cooling corpse, an ogre in the form of a young human boy is born. His ancestry? Pure ogre. His destiny? To kill his own kind. He bears not an ogre\'s horn, but an ogre-killing sword. Believing that he will become human once all his kind are extinct, he travels the land, sword in hand, daring to dream. He has no human name. Mankind refers only to his sword, \'Onikirimaru,\' otherwise known as...Ogre Slayer.
