Introduction
The Edo period of Japan gave rise to a clan of warriors with a very specialized, magical skill. The clan was known as the Manyuu, and the skill was the ability to administer a sword strike that could shrink the size of a woman's breasts. This might not seem like an ability that could exert power over a land, but in Manyuu Hikenchou, large breasts denote status, wealth, fame, and influence.
Grave concern has arisen in the Manyuu clan due to the actions of their chosen successor, Chifusa. Disgusted with the breast obsessed society that the Manyuu have created and perpetuated, Chifusa has not only deserted the clan, but also stolen the sacred scroll that details their techniques to growing and severing breasts.
Fortunately, Chifusa is not completely alone. Her fellow warrior Kaede is sympathetic to her cause; a sympathy that could place her in considerable danger. Now wanted by the very clan that raised her, Chifusa must defend her life and Kaede's while seeking to undo the damage their brethren have done to the land. Along the way, Chifusa will discover that she harbors a power that goes far beyond the scope of her training, one that could help shape and change the land that she seeks to bring equality to.

Surprisingly good - the tits are plentiful, attractive, and make a hilarious flopping sound. Since tits is central to the Manyuu universe, there's almost always something to look at on screen yet the nudity is controlled, only impedes the story a couple of times (the groping children), and never numbs the viewer. Manyuu's classic wandering samurai story, action scenes, and plentiful jokes keeps the series moving along. Manyuu is further enhanced by inhabiting a world that reflects its obsession with oppai - rival rural town contestants compete with their chests, busts meticulously measured by the government, the slicing of boobs is essentially emasculating, and characters question why booba became money. The series does peak rather early with some genuinely brutal-feeling moments and laugh…

Again this is going to be one of those quick reviews considering again this is really early in the morning like 2 a.m. There definitely seems like there should have been a second season though it would have been more tits which isn't a bad thing there is quite a bit I am a tit guy but after a certain point of seeing constant tint on the screen it turns into about the story. The characters are one dimensional. Sound there is no sound other than me squish sound that everybody's tits make. Animation is actually really good like high-tier even A level type status. Storyline was pretty interesting but about 10 episodes and it gets pretty boring and monotonous. Again I'm a little too tired to do a little bit better review but is it worth the watch sure again if you like tits go ahead b…

2011's Manyuu Hikenchou is an absolute love-letter to fans of Breasts, know that I judge Anime based off of the genre they represent, not by arbitrary numbers. I rate Action anime by Action, Romance by Romance, Comedy by Comedy, Fanservice by FANSERVICE - and by Ecchi standards, Manyuu Hikenchou is a brilliant enigma of breast fanservice, and truly a pioneer in breast design.
If you have any love for Oppai in your heart, than this anime is definitely for you.
Story: Who really cares/10
While this show does indeed have a story and actually managed to keep me interested, it’s QUITE obvious what it was going for right from the beginning and doesn’t let the story get in the way of all the fun. In a Tokugawa type era, Breasts mean everything… literally.

Whether you are going to watch this anime because of plot or the other plot, it's worth either way. Set in a parallel version of the Taihei Edo period, the series follows the busty samurai, Chifusa and her attendant Kaede.
Story (7/10)
In Manyuu Hikenchou, it's all about breasts. Breasts give you power, fame, wealth and respect. And so as you've realized, the plot revolves around breasts, the bigger the better. Chifusa and her attendant Kaede travel around the Japan to reach its final destination, Chifusa's home village in order to learn the ultimate technique: Breast Flow (乳流れ Chichi-nagare). Chichi-nagare allows to control the form of breasts and thus allowsr to enlarge or reduce breasts. But only Chifusa's clan is able to master this technique and Chifusa's goal is to give all women…

"This anime has big tits in it, so it can't be good" - The serious and mature MAL critic.
Manyuu Hikenchou is an erotic, samurai, action-comedy anime with a ridiculous premise that manages to be both superficially entertaining for its obvious ridiculousness and genuinely entertaining for the kind of story it's trying to tell. The episodes are mainly episodic in nature, but there is an overall narrative that never actually gets lost in unnecessary bullshit. Even seemingly filler scenarios and story beats manage to meander their way into the main story, becoming relevant by the end of the episode, or later on in the series, either thematically or more directly.
Characters are generally likeable, with the main duo being interesting enough to carry the series without boring the audience. T…

Not even going to give this a full review, I can sum this up quickly. You will like this anime if you are a fan of ecchi and don't care about anything else but lots of topless girls with huge boobs. You may like this story if you think the concept of women using samurai techniques to reduce each others breasts sizes is interesting or appealing. As a raw ecchi this is solid, lots of huge boobs, plenty of nudity and a silly/funny plot. If you're looking for anything even remotely close to a descent plot or a plausible concept this one will fall WAY short. I'd say give this one a pass and instead watch a good anime and then a hentai.

There's likely only 'two reasons' you might want to watch this, and it probably isn't for the story or characters.
And that's okay.
But thankfully, Manyuu Hikenchou does manage to fit likeable characters and a mostly engaging plot between it's other, main, bouncy draw.
One thing that separates the show is how surprisingly good natured it is to the inhabitants of it's breast obsessed world.
Instead of taking the cheap and lazy route of abusing characters for titillating pay off's, it takes time to let us learn about and even respect them.
Although the main plot is too ludicrous to ever take fully seriously, Manyuu Hikenchou does explore many aspects of boob culture that are reflective in our own society.
I know that sounds silly, but speaking for men everywhere, I've never really con…

This series is a must NOT watch. It's main topic is "Breasts". I mean what kind of a story line is that? The ones who have big breasts prosper and the ones with small are doomed to live a poor life??? Even when people's breasts are cut off they become smaller instead of well... being cut... And the heroine is going to share boobies with everyone yayyyyyyy... no thanks. -_-
So this anime is just pure ecchi with not a very good story which I found very boring. Even ecchi anime should have a atleast mediocre story behind it and most of all it should be fun to watch not boring.

I had to come back to this one. I watched a little bit of the first episode and immediately decided it was too much like Queen’s Blade. I watched some other things instead. When I finally sat down to watch it, I was pleasantly surprised.
I have a hard time sitting through many ecchi shows. Queen’s Blade was troublesome and Seikon no Qwaser was completely unwatchable, but I actually enjoyed Manyuu Hikenchou. I think it’s because it knows it’s ridiculous and never remotely takes itself seriously. It also does a remarkably good job of not acting like the rest of the show has no purpose beyond serving the ecchi content.
