Summary:
Yoichi Karasuma is a young samurai who spent all his life training martial arts on a mountain in Japan. His father finally sends him away to learn about the life in the city. There he starts to live with four girls and goes to a normal high school. But modern life is harder to grasp than expected.
The reason I really liked this anime was for the great moral aspects it puts forth. I actually started the series by reading the manga and I must confess that at first a big reason was the "fan service" it included (I apoligize). However, after reading/watching it for awhile I came to absolutely love it! If an anime has fighting and a good story then thats great, but I firmly believe that the most important part of a story of any kind is the values contained within. The characters are all very kind with a great sense of responsibility and spirit. However, the biggest reason I watch/read this series is because of the main character: Kurasama Yoichi. No matter what he is diong, whether fighting, studying, or just talking to his friends, he is always amazingly kind and puts the needs and wants of others first before his own. I believe that this servant-like attitude is what's really important in a story and in life itself. His pure character is enough of a reason for me to continue reading and watching the series.
