Title: Saraiya Goyou (さらい屋五葉/江戶盜賊團五葉)
Original: Based on the 7+ volumes with the same name by manga artist, Ono Natsume.
Status: 3 episodes is released in Japan and ep.1 is released with Chinese subs as of now.
Summary:
Set in the lovely samurai period of Edo, Masa is an unemployed swordsman who is often fired from his jobs because he looks useless and lenient. After losing his job again, Masa is offered a bodyguard position by a sexy man in a pink yukata (suspicious much?). From there, he becomes involved with this gang called '五葉' (Five Leaves) where sexy man is the leader.
Commentary:
I don't know if I should just take this to be BL or a piece of work with heavy hints of it. Because not even 15 minutes into ep.1, sexy man in the pink yukata (real name: Yaichi) had already confessed to Masa, telling him, he likes him. OTL And 20 minutes in, Masa and Ichi are sharing a room ( and as warned by another member of Five Leaves: "Don't be too loud."<-- what are you guys going to do!! -covers face-) XDDD
Even if you aren't into male-to-male-bonding or Edo-period-samurai-plots (but do let me ask, who the hell are you if you aren't into things like these!!!??) the art style is definitely worth watching for, it is totally gorgeous!!! ;)

O_O I love this mangaka's work, you should read her other stuff too <3 I'd recommend Ristorante Paradiso :)
*Goes download the anime now* I'm a sucker for historical manga *_*
Ohh~ I read that too! But maybe the setting for that just wasn't all that exciting for me but the art was still really neat~ XD
Historical manga is good!! :DD
Yea! I wish there's more people willing to translate those historical manga though... T__T I keep asking my sister to pick those type of titles up to scanlate them, but nobody wants to translate... IT's SAD!
Is it mostly b/c the language is different versus modern jap? DD: I can't even find this manga in chinese -sad face-
Yea! Only Japanese raws ;__; And the anime's lovely! I really love the pretty colours too, if only the raw I downloaded wasn't rmbv... I guess I'll have to dig around for higher quality raw movie D:
Awww, pity~ The anime looks soo good! I watched it online with high definition and my god, it was amazing *v*
