This Manga is about a town that is threatened by cyborg 
bandits for it's rice. The town sends out three people to 
search for some samurai to help defend there village. The 
three bump into katsushiro which is a guy who was walking 
around in the town that they went to. They take him as 
there first samurai. Later they find out he isn't one and 
that he is just a plain kid. Though in he helps them to 
get seven samurai to go to the town. Join them on the 
adventure to see what happens in volume one of this 
series.

Opinion: 

I loved this manga. This was filled with action 
and had a lot of the Japanese essence with it. For 
example, this manga is read like a traditional Japanese 
book which is from right to left not like our books which 
read from left to right. If you are not used to this you 
get used to if after a few pages. In the front they taught 
you about honorifics. This is used after someone's name 
like -San or -Sama. This manga also uses some Japanese 
words and they explain them in the back. It also includes 
a preview of the second volume though it is written in 
Japanese. I don't know if it will be translated to English 
when it is on shelves in a store near you. All in all this 
was a good book that anyone would like. If your looking 
for some hack and slash or just for information about 
Japanese traditions, this manga is the right one for you!
