Hideki Yamada's loosely historical manga about amply porportioned sword fighter
The May issue of Enterbrain's Tech Gian game magazine is revealing on Saturday that there is a television anime adaptation of Hideki Yamada's Manyū Hiken-chō manga. The historical story is set in a parallel Taihei Edo period and follows Chifusa, an amply porportioned sword fighter in the Manyū clan.
The manga has been running in Tech Gian magazine since 2005, and the fifth compiled book volume shipped last May.
