Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

## Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress In a steampunk world overrun by armored undead, a young engineer half-turned into a monster fights to protect the living from aboard armored locomotive fortresses. During an industrial age of steam and steel, humanity is besieged by the Kabane, undead horrors whose iron-shielded hearts make them nearly impossible to kill; a single bite transforms a victim into one of them. Survivors barricade themselves in fortified stations and travel only aboard heavily armored trains. Ikoma, a young steamsmith on the island of Hinomoto, is bitten during an attack but halts his transformation, becoming a "Kabaneri," a human-monster hybrid retaining his mind while gaining fearsome power. Alongside the enigmatic warrior Mumei, he fights to defend the fleeing survivors aboard the fortress-train Kotetsujou. A propulsive, gory action series of survival, prejudice, and desperate hope.
