Samurai Harem,AKA Asu No Yoichi, is a well drawn and lively comedy about a 17-year-old only son of a single samurai sword master father who raised him alone in the mountains away from others,epecially girls. After the father decides the son needs more training than he is capable of giving he sends him to a dojo run by four sisters,the oldest being,of course,17 years of age. There are no parents as they "went on a long journey". Our hero is a bit dense conserning life outside of the mountains and cuts a path of distrbances in the city on his way to the dojo. He is also "completely innocent" regarding girls but seems to get at least one nose bleed per episode...along with at least one sound thrashing at the hands of the oldest sister. He is not a player and this is not a sex romp and there is no,repeat,no fan service or nudity.While all the sisters grow to like him,only one harbors emotional feelings and another,the oldest, seems to be jealous of him whenever he is to close to other girls. He never seems to "get a clue" as he is living by the rules of a samurai, doing things we would probably call,in our world,"gentlemanly" although he seems to have his hands full of breasts or his head up a skirt far more times than one would think was "coincidental", each incident bringing swift reproachment (beatings within an inch of his life) by the oldest sister,regardless how innocent.
