HOUSE OF FIVE LEAVES COMPLETE SERIES STANDARD EDITION

About the show:
The ronin, Masanosuke Akitsu, was working as a bodyguard in Edo, but due to his shy personality, he kept being let go from his bodyguard jobs, despite his magnificent sword skills. Unable to find new work, he wanders around town and meets a man, the playboy who calls himself Yaichi. Even though Yaichi and Masanosuke had just met for the first time, Yaichi treats Masanosuke to a meal and offers to hire him as a bodyguard. Despite the mysteries that surround Yaichi, Masanosuke takes the job. He soon finds out that Yaichi is the leader of a group of kidnappers who call themselves the “Five Leaves.” Now Masanosuke is faced with the dilemma of whether to join the Five Leaves and share in the profits of kidnapping, or to resist becoming a criminal.
