The Remarriage

Hmmm I shall looketh into that

Interesting

Await the next chapters

You would think that a samurai belongs in medieval Japan. However, there can be some exceptions: a samurai living in the mountains, embracing the life of the "past," descends into the city to experience the "future/present (at least to us)." Here, we encounter numerous twists and turns as our hero's journey progresses.

Story (7/10) Good
It’s quite typical for a harem-type manga: girls vying for the attention of the clueless main character. You might have anticipated some "uniqueness" due to a samurai living in the city, but the manga rarely focuses on this small twist. Another reason it feels conventional is because, beyond being oblivious, the protagonist is a good guy who "FIGHTS FOR JUSTICE."
The thing I disliked most about this manga was its plot-per-chapter structure; since it follows a plot per chapter, the manga has an excuse to be irregular.

I rated this manga a 7 and not lower or higher because it reminded me of Onizuka from GTO; they share similarities in teaching others "life lessons." Additionally, I enjoy any harem-type manga.

Art (9/10) Great
The art is ideal for an ecchi-type manga. Combined with the harem aspect, it’s a winner. The breasts are beautifully drawn, the women look stunning, and after every fight, one girl's clothes are always torn due to some intense finishing move, leaving them exposed.
The fight scenes are decent. The fights are brief but not too short to lose your interest.

Character (7/10) Good
The best way to define each character in the manga is by how they interact with the protagonist. You’ve seen this before: tsundere, shy, bold, etc. Regarding this, the characters differ in how they engage with the protagonist. However, as I mentioned, you've likely encountered these types before. I try not to judge the manga based on how well other mangas have executed similar characters, but it's impossible: I've read too many mangas with the same personalities. Since I read a lot of ecchi/harem manga, don't be alarmed thinking this is really THAT bad. It isn’t.

Enjoyment/Overall (8/10) Very Good
I enjoyed it immensely because the art was stunning, and the protagonist had an "Onizuka" personality, teaching GIRLS "life lessons," making them fall for him. And when they fall for him, it becomes an endless cycle of harem. HAREM HAREM HAREM. I LIKE HAREM.

Asu no Yoichi!, or also known as Samurai Harem, revolves around Karasuma Yoichi, a young man who has dedicated his entire life to training in the mountains to become a samurai. One day, his father instructs him to descend from the mountains and enter the city to commence new training at a dojo that specializes in their unique fighting style. At the Ikaruga dojo, he encounters four sisters, and this is where the excitement truly begins.

Story: In my opinion, the story is fairly solid. It centers on a young, innocent man who travels around to uphold his ideals of justice by bringing joy to those he knows. Although it's somewhat clichéd due to its harem genre, the combat sequences are decent, and there are numerous comedic scenes typical of harem scenarios. The character development is commendable, and both the range of settings and characters are well-crafted.

Art: I must say, this is probably one of the finest artworks I've encountered in manga thus far. The artwork masterfully blends the "manga/cartoonish" appearance with the realistic aesthetic often seen in many fighting manga. Most characters look appealing to me, particularly little Kagome, who is undeniably adorable. Despite the harem trope, some female characters possess exaggerated features such as large breasts, which may seem unrealistic, but aside from that, the artwork is quite exceptional. The background art is detailed, and the scenes are meticulously crafted.

Characters: The character development is impressive. It's fascinating how Karasuma Yoichi serves as the focal point, influencing others' growth. Each time he assists someone, he learns something new himself, along with the person he helped. Additionally, the four sisters undergo their own transformations as they too are impacted by Yoichi. Essentially, everyone is affected by him and undergoes change, eventually realizing their interconnectedness through his kindness. I believe this represents a commendable level of character development.

Enjoyment: I genuinely adored this manga series and eagerly anticipate watching the anime. I thought the characters were visually appealing, and their interactions were remarkable. However, I did find the ending somewhat abrupt and felt it could have been extended. Hopefully, I haven't spoiled anything :D Nonetheless, give it a try; the initial chapters might feel a bit slow, but the pace picks up later. Just a heads-up, this manga isn't purely about fighting; it's more of a romantic comedy with action elements. So, if you're seeking intense battles like in Naruto or Bleach, this might not be the ideal manga for you. Well, I hope you enjoy it!

I won't say I am a fan of the harem genre, but I do appreciate it when someone creates one with a twist. In my opinion, this manga isn't drastically different from others in terms of character dynamics and relationships, yet it still entertains with its martial arts theme.

Story: A young boy is trained in the hills of Japan to become a samurai by his powerful father. Upon turning 17 (or was it 18?), the father decides he has nothing more to teach him there and sends the boy to the city to a fellow clan member for further training. This clan member is Ibuki, the eldest of four sisters who is also learning the same sword style as the protagonist.

Art: The art is at least average. The girls are depicted as cute, and the male characters are well-drawn. The artwork is simple yet expressive.

Characters: This is the one aspect where the manga aligns with almost all others in its genre. However, the characters possess a small degree of depth and manage to entertain.

Enjoyment: With its martial arts scenes and ecchi situations, this manga can be considered both humorous and somewhat action-packed.

Overall: While the characters are harem clichés and the story isn't particularly captivating, if you overlook these aspects, this is a fairly enjoyable read.
