Asu no Yoichi!

Aired: 2009

A TV anime produced by AIC, based on the manga by Yu Minamoto serialized in Akita Shoten's Monthly Shonen Champion from June 2006 to March 2011, compiled into 15 collected volumes. Young swordsman Yoichi Karasuma, who has been training in the mountains with his father, descends to the city of Asamogawa seeking to grow even stronger. There he meets Ibuki Ikaruga, a practitioner of the same Shinpuu style, and ends up living at the Ikaruga Dojo with Ibuki and her three beautiful sisters. The series is a slapstick romantic comedy woven around the old-fashioned Yoichi and the modern-day four sisters. Directed by Rion Kujo with series composition by Hideyuki Kurata. The anime aired from January 8 to March 26, 2009 on TBS and other stations for a total of 12 episodes. ©Yu Minamoto (Akita Shoten)/Ikaruga Dojo Supporters
