Trying to find out what this manga is. I read a bit of the first few chapters but I stopped and now I can't find it anymore.

The first chapter involved a bald ex-assassin (an old man) who used very durable string to kill his enemies. The protagonist wields a black sword that is able to cut through anything; he is searching for members of a notorious assassin clan (which the ex-assassin is part of) in order to kill them (he wants to avenge someone I think).

The ex-assassin first refuses to fight because he said he quit being an assassin (he was putting on a puppet show for some children before the two of them met) and has adopted a blind orphan girl as his own. However, the protagonist attacks him anyways and kills the ex-assassin. The blind girl is sad that her "father" was killed and vows to get revenge.

That artwork is similar to Basilisk but a bit more finer. Let me know if there is anything else I can add to help. Really want to find out what this manga is called, looked promising.
