Summary from MangaUpdates:
Kenn's Comment: I'm warning you: this series isn't safe for work, thus shouldn't be read by those under 16. With that out of the way, if you're the type who really likes to read stories with great characters, this isn't for you. The character comes off as being a tad bit flat. Story wise though, it's not bad. Lots of action and girls and blood, and chopped limbs, and blood, and nudity. I'm pretty sure the manga is on hiatus for a while, and I think the last chapter was 98, 99 or 100.When the Wischtech threatened to invade the fiefs of Szaalanden, the Emperor dispatched fourteen youths. Of these, the Seven Heroes halted the invasion to herald a time of prosperity while the four Lances of Betrayal were supposedly defeated.
Two decades later, the Lances of Betrayal have reappeared and formed a bandit militia near the frontier fief Gormbark. A man with a black sword and a scar over his left eye slays an entire troop of that militia. He is identified as the boy, Koinzell, and becomes as much an object of fear as of hope even as his own past, motivations, and purpose are a mystery to those he meets on his journey.
Volume 0 encompasses a plot arc which leads directly into the main plot of Übel Blatt in Volume 1. It also introduces and develops the attitudes and motives of a few other characters aside from Koinzell.
