Unfortunately Hidetada Tokugawa needs to know which of his sons will be the next shogun. The proposition? Each clan will support one of his two sons and they will have their 10 best warriors fight to the death in order to pick his succesor. To make matters more complicated, the grandchildren of each clan's current leaders are in love and soon to be married.
Reviewer's Notes [WARNING - Spoilerish]
This is one anime that seriously affected me. I actually watched the entire series in one weekend bceause I just had to know how it would all end. Of course, this being anime, I knew how it would end but I kept hoping I would, for once, be wrong. Gennosuke and Oboro's tragic love was heart wrenching. Well, for me it was. So, if you are a sensitive, emotional wreck when it comes to doom lovers, I suggest buying a box of tissues before you sit to watch this.
[end of Spoilers]
I think this series deserves a 4 out of 5. I loved it.
