Well, I've been watching Saraiya Goyou all day. I'd watched the first episode when it was released, but never got around to finishing it. I'd also been looking around for the raws of the later volumes. I have the first two from the last time I went to Kinokuniya (but sadly I've had no time to go recently). After just looking it up on bakaupdates, I am sad to say that it is licensed by the evil Viz. I truly hate how they butcher manga. But if you don't mind their terrible translations and/or spending money or renting it from a library, etc then I really recommend this beautiful series. Basso (Ono Natsume-sensei) is always amazing, and it shows even more so in this great work. I hope you get the chance to read it and that when you do, you will enjoy it too. The anime is also great, so if you are unable to get the manga or simply wish to watch it, I recommend that as well.
「さらい屋五葉」
Saraiya Goyou
Mangaka: オノ・ナツメ (
Ono Natsume)
Genre: Action, Historical, Seinen, Slice of Life
Summary: "Masterless samurai Akitsu Masanosuke is a skilled and loyal swordsman, but his naïve, diffident nature has time and again caused him to be let go by the lords who have employed him. Hungry and desperate, he becomes a bodyguard for Yaichi, the charismatic leader of a gang called "Five Leaves." Although disturbed by the gang's sinister activities, Masa begins to suspect that Yaichi's motivations are not what they seem. And despite his misgivings, the deeper he's drawn into the world of the Five Leaves, the more he finds himself fascinated by these devious, mysterious outlaws." -
