Akitsu Masanosuke is a timid ronin on his way to Edo from the countryside when he accidentally encounters a playboy named Yaichi, who asks him to be his bodyguard. But it turns out that Yaichi is actually the leader of a group of bandits called the "Five Leaves," and he's hoping that Masanosuke will join them. Masanosuke is reluctant to help them, but as grows closer to his eccentric new companions, he learns to relate to them and grow as a person in the process.

(Adaptation of Ono Natsume's House of Five Leaves [Sarai-ya Goyou] manga.).

Episode 01 - KPR


This was another one I was interested in this season.
Artwork is unusual, and switches somewhat depending if dealing with present/past.
Period samuari anime, main character being skilled with the sword, but his personality leaves him weak.
Very slow starting off, reckon will need to watch 3-5 episodes to get proper feel for it, though looks as it's going to be main character joining gang, and coming out of his shell, gets the girl too no doubt.

I'll stick with it for the time being.
