Asu no Yoichi episode 1

As you all do not know, it is a tradition for me to have a sneek peek at the manga while waiting for
the anime to air.
I've waited for Asu no Yoichi since it was officially announced that there
will be an anime adaptation for the series.
I've been following the manga since then.
Last time I remember, I decided only to read a couple of chapters from its manga, but it was
so good that i hooked on to it.
Maybe it's too late for me to discuss its 1st episode, since the 12th and the last
episode of Asu no Yoichi aired yesterday. But still I wanna post about it as my debut
on this blog.

The Synopsis.
A boy swordsman, Yoichi and his father stays in mountain training for his descent from the mountain. Yoichi comes to the city to lodge and stay with the 4 beautiful Ikaruga sisters. A new more severe "training" regiment awaits him.
It sounds great, doesn't it?

For me, reading manga only gives me half satisfaction..
Yea~ it does helps me escape from hunger!
But still getting to read and watch both manga and anime respectively, makes the world go round...What's that supposed to mean!?

Most of the scenes in this episode never exist in the manga, and the storyline were twisted.
Like the 1st time Ibuki and Yoichi met in the manga was when Yoichi beats the hell up Wa-san..
but in the anime Ibuki wasn't there, instead she was waiting for Yoichi with her 3 sisters outside the
shopping complex.

There never were a robbery scene in the manga as in the anime. Unlike in the anime Yoichi first met Ayame, Chihaya & Kagome at home,
not while he chases after the robber.
Below are some screenshot from the 1st episode and some comments about them...


Fanservice from the very beginning..


The father launching an attack


But easily countered


Such strong determination





Ego sure breeds dishonest people




Postarrow??


They're arguing about the postarrow!?


Whoa...a fight!!


An inch gap from the skull!!


I've been thinking about this. Why does Ayame looks like a western chick while her sisters
not....Could she be an adopted child!!??


Yoichi first met/strangled Ayame!!


Yoichi chases after the robber..


Fanservice....He first met Chihaya...


Kagome was crying at their first encounter.


Yoichi asked Kagome how does her sister looks like physically...




More fanservice.....


What a scary thing fate could do!!


I don't know if there are other changes made in the anime, like their personalities for example!
Because I've only watched this episode...
But Yoichi's stupidity and pervertness really matches 100% like in the manga!!!
