AIC’s 2009 series Samurai Harem, also known as Asu no Yoichi!, has arrived on Hulu and HIDIVE, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The 12-episode run follows Yoichi Karasuma, a 17-year-old swordsman trained in a secluded mountain dojo who is sent to the city to understand modern society.
Yoichi’s rigid samurai upbringing clashes hilariously with urban life, especially after he finds himself living with four unrelated women. The series blends martial arts action with harem comedy, leaning heavily into its ecchi elements as Yoichi navigates his new, complicated living situation. It’s adapted from the manga of the same name.
While not a recent hit, Samurai Harem offers a complete, bingeable package for fans of older ecchi shonen comedies. Its arrival on dual platforms makes it easily accessible for those seeking a straightforward blend of swordplay and romantic hijinks.
