About this title
Synopsis
The series takes place in an alternate version of Japan called Great Japan, in an alternate timeline where the Tokugawa shogunate remained active and has remained isolated from the rest of the world. The story takes place at Buou Academic School, an academy located at the base of Mount Fuji where children of military families train to become samurai warriors. The academy is in the middle of a power struggle between Yukimura Sanada and Matabei Goto of the Toyotomi faction and the powerful student council that rules the school, and Muneakira Yagyu, the owner of the Yagyu Dojo, and the mysterious Jubei Yagyu are dragged in the middle of the conflict. The series features famous historical figures from Japan's Sengoku period and early Edo period. The character Charles d'Artagnan also comes from the same age in Europe. (Source: Wikipedia)

Main characters
Juubei Yagyuu202 fan favoritesExternal profileMuneakira's first master samurai, with the contractual mark on her chest. She also has a power level of five million when she transforms, but in this state she has shown a sadistic side, yet she is an honourable warrior who gives respect to those whom have earned it. In her normal form however, she has no memories of her former life, and has an obsession with her "onii-chan" (big brother), Muneakira. She is also airheaded, innocent, and acts very much like a child, which is reinforced by the fact that she refers to herself in third-person. Her weapon is a daisho set, with the katana unusually colored. (Source: Wikipedia)
Kanetsugu Naoe49 fan favoritesExternal profileA retainer of Yoshihiko Tokugawa. She admires him a lot which she often uses "Love" as a representation of that feeling. Considered as a "Baka" type of person. She often boasts of her skills and claims she's an expert in English (In reality, she's really bad at English). Her weapon is an oversized hammer, which she is able to swing around with ease. She often claims to be a "warrior of love," dedicated to protecting pure love. But despite her claims, she often goes ballistic at the mere sight or mention of public affection. She believes that Muneakira Yagyu is an enemy to all women and love, and must be destroyed, though that belief was mostly influenced by lies told to her by Yoshihiko Tokugawa.

Sen Tokugawa26 fan favoritesExternal profilePrincess of the Tokugawa clan, Sen is as beautiful as she is difficult. She holds herself in high esteem, to the point of isolation at times. Quick to anger, Sen loves to abuse Hanzo, and treats her like a lower being, even though Hanzo clearly shows great affection towards her. Her rule is absolute, and she guides her followers with an iron fist, but seems to revert to a regular, whiny, and childish girl around Mune, something that Mune takes advantage of, and a flaw that Hanzo is quick to notice. As far as nobility goes, she's an odd duck in a small pond. Relies on her brother excessively, and seems to have somewhat of a crush on Muneakira. She is the third person to be turned into a master samurai by Muneakira. (Source: ANN)
Muneakira Yagyuu23 fan favoritesExternal profileThe leading man, and a samurai of noble spirit. A master of the Shinkage-ryu fighting style, his main concern is taking over the Yagyu Dojo, as the new Master. The Yagyu family has been teaching the Tokugawa clan swordsmanship for centuries, and Muneakira, or "Mune" for short, aims to keep that traidition strong. Officially under the Tokugawa clan, Mune has just gotten to Buou Academic School (a school where only warrior students can attend, and a breeding ground for Japan's next great leaders) and he's already found himself with a world of problems... and two of them like to follow him around. Has great skill with a sword, and is a childhood friend of Sen Tokugawa. (Source: ANN)
Matabei Gotou15 fan favoritesExternal profileYukimura's loyal bodyguard and friend. She helped Yuki sneak into the Yagyu dojo and is aiding her in her plans to bring the Toyotomi clan back to prominence. A bit of a klutz and as clumsy as a lobster with mittens on, Matabei nonetheless is serious to a fault and takes her role of "protector" with vigor. Loves eating and cooking food, and is something of a bath aficionado. (Source: ANN)
Hanzou Hattori1 fan favoritesExternal profileSen Tokugawa's loyal enforcer, she'll go to great lengths to protect the school and to catch her prey. Sometimes brash and always prideful, Hanzou takes her job very seriously and with the help of her followers, all as loyal as she is, they get the job done. She is also a skilled fighter, using her "power detector" glasses to great effect when sizing up her opponents. All at once shy and forceful, she cowers at the mention of anything sexual and is a classic "trope" character all around. She is very willing to please her princess, Sen Tokugawa, even though Sen treats her like garbage and harasses her at every turn. Even in the face of such ridicule, Hanzou obeys, adores, and protects Sen, almost to the point of obsession. (Source: ANN)
