The character blurbs + chart

[sincere]

Who is this young man with an artificial arm? His name is Renya, 17 years old. He's a boy who was raised isolated in a certain village. His special skill is unfailing accuracy with throwing shuriken. When he meets with the mysterious woman C.C., he learns about the outside world!

Who is the identity of this mysterious man who resembles Lelouch? Could he be Renya's enemy? Dreaming of immortality, he seems to be planning to make the world his own. Although it seems that he has some sort of suspicious power, his true self is unknown.

This young woman is one we all know-- The immortal witch C.C. She has arrived in Edo, seeking a new contract with someone. Who will she choose to be her contracted partner?


And the little chart in the corner...

Oooh.

You know, the full translation is a lot more interesting than the summary that's floating around.

Why does Renya have boobs?

because they specifically say that he resembles Lelouch, I will not be surprised if it turns out to actually be Lelouch - they're just trying to be sneaky about it lol.

Lelouch hasn't been born yet.

Unless this is the future, not the past...

... It takes place in the Edo period.

Unless they named the period after Lelouch's death the Edo period, or something. It could be the distant future.

...

... if it were, I'd rather it be about their descendants...

maybe a past life. :) hopefully fukujun will voice this character if the 'anime' is based on this manga.

Thanks for the summary. I think I would actually really be into this had it been drawn by either the Counterattack or the Rebellion artist. The NoN artist just makes everything look so harsh and sloppy. It doesn't fit into Geass well, which would evoke something more smooth and natural. Also, Renya. XD That poor boy.

I think all the artstyles have pluses and minuses, but NoN particularly boggles me a little because the mangaka is a little... idk, over the top sometimes? Like NoN Zero's crotch beam. And why the fetish with metallic arms? First Suzaku for no reason in NoN had armor just on his left arm, and now Clonezaku Renya has a mysterious bionic arm in the Edo period...
