Set in a steam-powered, post-apocalyptic Japan, humanity survives behind towering walls and travels by armored trains called the Kotetsujō to fend off the Kabane, zombie-like invaders. Ikoma, a clever engineer, discovers a way to fight the Kabane and, after a brutal transformation, becomes a Kabaneri—half-human, half-kabane. Together with a ragtag crew aboard the iron fortress, he battles for humanity’s future while uncovering dark conspiracies threatening their last refuge.
