Summary: In the eleventh year of the Meiji era carrying swords was forbidden by the government and those known as samurai were slowly fading away. However there were plenty that didn't like those changes taking place in Japan and inevitably the crime rates increased. Japan's only resolve was an inescapable lake prison. While the prison had no other way to access it but only through water, the 3 boys of the Kumo family were assigned to transport the criminals to their new "home". Although... is that the only thing they were doing...?

First of all the art is really gorgeous and the story is just Wow. I love the bond the three brothers share and i even teared up a lot even when i knew how things would turn out (i picked up the sequel first by accident haha ~ oops) meaning i almost cried like a baby. It's also not that much of a tradgedy in a sense everyone dies but it does get sad.

I also like how theres subtle romance in there but it's not anything shoujo like its more like Fairy Tail's romance ~ there but not overly there and not worth making a genre out of. Beyond that though i think what i like about manga's without a romance genre is that you can appreciate characters alot more and you can love them all equally and don't get disapointed when a love interest misses out cause romance isn't really explored.

I totally reccommend this to read it really surpised me and i'm glad i did and its really easy to love characters and despite being hesitant about reading this i'm glad i took a chance. Now off to the sequel ~side story? Idk what it's called a companion maybe..oh well, haha.
