Ryoma is an honest and tenderd-hearted boy who hates any sort of violence and brutality.
He is so sensitive, and a bit naive, that he often cries from pity when he sees even the simples act of violence such as another kid trampling a tiny insect. The kids and even his family call him a "cry baby". However, he is not a coward - not a "chicken" at all. His distress comes from a desire to prevent unreasonable acts and the wrong doings in life. His older sister is the only person who understands his depth. She recognizes that her brother is gifted with a special talent and she does her best to protect him and cheer him up.

The older companion to Azumi

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.
