The Edo-period action-comedy Manyu Scroll has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with an English dub and subtitles. The 12-episode series, animated by Hoods Entertainment, centers on the Manyuu clan, whose unique sword skill can alter a woman's bust size – a trait that dictates status and influence in this historical fantasy.
Chifusa, the clan's chosen successor, finds herself at odds with the established order as she wields this power. The series blends samurai swordplay and historical settings with a heavy dose of ecchi humor and parody, focusing on a primarily female cast and the societal implications of its central conceit.
As a finished series from Summer 2011, Manyu Scroll offers a self-contained story for viewers looking for a quirky, action-packed seinen experience. Its unique premise and blend of genres make it a standout among historical anime.
