Samurai Harem: Asu no Yoichi

Asu no Yoichi! Or also known as Samurai Harem is about Karasuma Yoichi, a boy whole has devoted his whole entire life training in the mountains to become a samurai. Until one day his father told him to go down the mountains and enter the city to begin his new training at a dojo that practice their style of fighting. At Ikaruga dojo he meets four sisters and that is where things just start to get exciting. Story: The story is pretty decent in my opinion. Basically about a young innocent man going around to express his ideals of justice by bringing people that he knowssmiles. It is kind of cliche since its a harem type scenario but the fighting in it is alright, and since it is a harem type scenario there is plenty of comedic scenes. The character development is good, and the variety of setting and characters are also well made. Art: I have to admit that this is probably one of the best artwork I have seen so far in manga. The artwork does a splendid job of combining the "manga/cartoony" kind of look with the realistic kind of look you would see in many fighting type of manga. Also most of the characters looks nice in my opinion especially little Kagome. She is just so adorable. And yet again since it is a harem type scenario there will be girls with just huge breast that just seem unrealistic, but beside that fact, the artwork is quite great. The background art is also pretty detailed and the scenes are also well made. Characters: The character development are pretty good. Its great how Karasuma Yoichi is like the center piece, that helps change people. I really like it how each time he goes help a person, he himself learn something new along with the person he just helped. Also the four sister also have their own development as they themselves are also affected by Yoichi. Basically everyone there is affected by him and they each change, but later realize how they are all connected through his kindness. Which I think is a pretty decent character development. Enjoyment: I really loved this manga series that I can't wait to go watch the anime. I really thought the characters looked nice and the way they interacted was quite remarkable. Though I did felt the ending was kind of abrupt and felt that it was capable of being longer. Hope I didn't spoil anything :D But anyways do give it a try, the first few chapters may feel kind of slow but things pick up a bit later own. Just a warning though that this manga is not a total fighting manga, its more like a romantic comedy with action in it, so if you're looking for awesome fighting like naruto or bleach, then this wouldn't be the right manga for you. Well hope you enjoy it!
