Story:A boy named yoichi descends from the mountains, where he has spent his whole life, and lives in the city. They mix it up by making him live in a dojo with 3 girls and the shenanigans caused from his niave nature and bad luck.Overall the story wasn't that impressive from where I stopped. It seemed more life a slice of life than an actual samurai epic. As a comedy/slice of life it wasn't too impressive and seemed to rely on the panty shots and partial nudity he always runs into.Art:Was decent but not really wowing.Characters:The male protagonist, Yoichi, is a boy who lived in the mountains with his father his whole life. Through training and constant (good natured)fights with his father he is considerably tough. His character is interesting but very naive.The female lead, the typical tsuendere, responsible, big breasted girl. Not really wowing as a character and is really annoying. Constantly hitting Yoichi for absolutely no reason or for things existing only in her mind. Lesser Leads: Three sisters of the female lead, not really that important but they contribute to the chaos and the misunderstandings.Minor character: Assassins and bullies, misc characters.TLDROverall the story is episodic or slice of life.The art is average.The characters are okay but somewhat annoying.If you got nothing else to read then give it a shot. The only people I can see really liking it is those that like males getting hit for no reason and tseundere female characters. As a slice of life its decent.
