Fuu Kasumi's quiet job at a teahouse ends in a wreck, a rescue, and a deal with two very different swordsmen. She hires Mugen and Jin as bodyguards while she searches for "the samurai who smells of sunflowers." 1
The pitch stays simple: a wandering trio crossing an alternate Edo period, with sword fights that move to a hip-hop-infused soundtrack and enough comedy to keep the road loose. 1
If you liked
- Cowboy Bebop for the cool, melancholy road-crew chemistry.
- Baccano! for propulsive episode construction and stories that connect in motion.
Four swipes, then episode 1.
