Synopsis

Shanaou Yoshitsune is an alternative story to the popular historical figure Minamoto no Yoshitsune along with his servants, including the renown Benkei who lived in the Heian Era. In this version, Yoshitsune was actually a weak, sickly boy who met an exact body replica in Hyouta, a traveling orphan who earn his living on the street. Being physically stronger, Hyouta was led to become a replacement for Yoshitsune, eventually claiming the name as his own.

This manga is a fictional story (albeit with many historical references) of his journey to restore the honor of Genji (Minamoto) Clan.

it never fails to make me cry (trying to leave some spoilers aside) and its a real feel-good story in my opinion.

but would definitely recommend to anyone!!

the only confusing part is how many names the main character seems to have by the end? as far as I remember it ended up being 3 or 4?
this is fine as they were spread out, ...
