Hidamari no Ki is sort of a historical drama centered around two very different characters. We follow their lives as they grow up and are forced to navigate a rapidly changing political landscape in Japan, and as the series progresses their plotlines start to intertwine.
It would had been nice to have some of the side characters a bit more fleshed out but other than that I thought it was a great watch! If you're at all interested in this setting I would highly recommend it.

main cast
A story set in the mid-1800's about a young doctor who has been trained in Western-style medicine and a young samurai who is trying to live up to the old traditions of his class and culture. The story is actually based upon real people—the doctor, Ryo-an, was Tezuka's great grandfather.
During the Second Year of Ansei (1855) in Edo's Koishigawa are two young men, Manjiro Ibutani and Ryoan Tezuka. Ibutani is a low-ranking samurai who is a gifted swordsman and has straightforward strong sense of justice. Tezuka has a more carefree attitude. He has an eye for the ladies, but he is passionate about becoming a doctor. The two opposite characters come of age during the backdrop of the turbulent end of the Tokugawa Period (1600-1868 CE).

male, assassinAn assassin is a professional murderer; it is their job or profession to be hired to kill people. When events like one-off murders appear, they should be tagged on anime level.

They are not to be confused with the modern rounin, students who failed to enter a next level school and are studying outside of the school system for future entrance., samuraino description set
