Sommaire
It was the Sengoku-era, when the warlords usurped each other. There was a man whose soul was overtaken by the ways of tea and material greed, as he worked his way up toward greater power and status. His name was Sasuke Furuta, a subordinate warrior of Nobunaga Oda. With his world broadened by Nobunaga the Genius, and his spiritual insight learned from Senno Soueki the Master of Tea, Sasuke drove the road to hyouge. To live or not to live. For the power of the art. That is the question!

I’m happy to say that I was not disappointed for once in a very long time. The story of Hyougemono transports us to the time of Oda Nobunaga, and I know it is a time visited very (underline ‘very’) frequently by Mangaka (that’s to say, it’s beginning to be a cliché) HOWEVER!

This story does NOT feature a lovable teddybear Nobunaga nor the I-don’t-know-what-the-Hell-I’m-doing Nobunaga and thankfully, not the Girls-just-wanna-have-fun! Cyndi Lauper-inspired Nobunaga. Though still not completely historically accurate, at least we have SOMETHING different.

But the story isn’t about Oda Nobunaga (even if my long-ish rant says otherwise), it’s about Furuta, Sasuke wannabe-warrior and tea lover. Who honestly WANTS to be a well-known and respected warrior but his freaking hilarious sense of fashion and desires, especially towards tea utensils, keep getting in his way. And it’s funny! Not ah-ha-haha… Maz-Maz doesn’t know what their saying, he..he.he. But OhOOhooooHO! Maz-Maz knows what shizzle is cooking! WOOOOAH!

But the thing is, it’s NOT a comedy which must be part of the charm; no one’s trying to force you to laugh at someone slipping on an obviously placed banana.
Where you don’t laugh but go ‘dude, go check out your glasses/eyes’.
It’s unintentional humour doth bring warmth to mine heart. {Beat that, Shakespeare.}

And if you’re going to read this Manga, you’re definitely not reading it for bimbo guys and girls (yes, I just called the guys bimbos too, happy feminists?) and unless your perverted enough to like middle-aged guys-plus, not saying that people that age shouldn’t like people at the same age but you know… *Awkward cough* Look, when it came to eye-candy let’s say that the confectioners ran out; okay?

The art was artistic and PROPORTIONAL, yes, PROPORTIONAL: I love spelling that word. It was shaded with a good amount of details; I wouldn’t say soak your eyes in this but I wouldn’t think you would find it displeasing either. Since it’s not mainstream, I say hi-five!

Overall, I liked the characters, plot, design and the author actually succeeded in building suspense, because for a moment there I felt my heartbeat rushing. It was a nice feeling. So for those who are wannabe-connoisseurs and –intellectuals or for those willing to be random for a moment. I’d say you’ve found your match for the day.
