Yuu´s later companion series Azumi is in translation as it should be but this older work deserves your attention too especially if you consider that the lead Sakamoto Ryōma is a main character in Azumi 2.
The narrative is less violent in comparison and there is no sex but the story is ultimately tragic as facts about Sakamoto life are kept even if the atmosphere is comedic and some of the story is fictitious. The art may not be to everyone liking but it as very clean and i enjoyed it a lot. The manga slightly less interesting then his later chambara epic but Yuu Koyama is only the artist here. The anime is also well done and this whole package deserves to be rediscovered by a new audience.
