Kubidai Hikiukenin

Set during Japan's feudal period, Kubidai Hikiukenin follows a warrior who enters the fray of battle only to find his existence reduced to a grim transaction. Rather than fighting for honor or glory, he is forced to weigh the value of his own life against an economic commitment, turning survival into a calculated bargain where blood and coin are exchanged on equal terms. The battlefield was once revered as the sacred ground where samurai could fully experience and embody the Way of Bushido. However, in this era of shifting loyalties and ruthless commerce, that noble ideal begins to crumble. The pristine path of the warrior grows increasingly tarnished, stained not merely by the blood spilled in combat, but by the corrupting influence of financial gain. As the protagonist navigates this deteriorating world, he must confront the harsh reality that the purity of the samurai code is fading, replaced by a brutal system where human lives carry a literal price tag.
