Description
Early one New Year's morning, the ronin Senou Souichirou appears at the Katagi tenements in Edo. He is a suspicious figure; Kankichi, the carpenter's son, thinks he may not be human. But it is not long before he has put his sword in pawn and settled into the active life of the community. All is well for a time. Only troubles will not leave the Katagi tenements alone ...

Takemitsu Zamurai is the best manga I've read in at least a couple of years. Story development is suspenseful and light by turns --- the handling both of Senou's cheerful acclimatization in Edo, and of his slow drawing out by malevolent forces around him, is exceptional.
Note too that the art is outstanding. To those who don't like it, I will grant that Matsumoto is trying something new and difficult, and seems to need a few chapters to work out the kinks; but it's not long before he has it down under flawless control. As zzoha said below, this is style; raise your game and appreciate it. It is bold, and very effective in my opinion.
Finally, a word of thanks to Hox for discovering and translating this gem. Hox, apparently, is like Mangascreener back in the day ... if he/she/they spent time on it, you can be assured it's worth reading, and Takemitsu Zamurai is the best proof of that to date. Kudos.

Those who claim that art sucks here obviously read to much sweet shoujo and never put a finger on pencil and draw XD
The art here is awesome!!!!Its the matter of style people! To draw like this you have to be very skilled.
the story goes slowly for now.i think this is not manga for everyone, but i love the drawing style so much uuuh i cannot wait for the next chapters.

| Love the Art! by XGatsu on October 27th, 2009, 4:44pm |

This might sound weird but I love the art. The art style perfectly fits and accentuates the samurai story. It definitely has that traditional samurai Ukiyo-e flavor to it which, as stated above, is perfect for a samurai story. The story itself has a very peaceful, light and episodic feel right now but foreshadows a very dark future plot which I can't wait to see unfold. And the characters themselves are what really makes this a great manga. Souchirou is so weird, enigmatic, dark, and charming, basically just a really complex character who would really be interesting to see develop. So Takemitsu has a unique art style with very interesting characters and a promising, possible dark, plot. And that's a 10 in my book at least for now

| Don't let the art put you off by Accipiter on October 18th, 2009, 11:40am |

This isn't a lack of artistic skill that's on display here, it's an intentional style that Matsumoto Taiyo is employing in this Manga. If you are willing to step outside your normal notions of what Manga should look like then you will find a very intriguing story inside.
