Bamboo Blade (Manga)

A Fun Read:

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD;;; (37 chapters released at time of writing)

I stumbled across this manga when browsing through a manga site, it didn't particularly catch my interest at the time, but I decided to read it out of sheer boredom.

The plot is simple, A teacher who runs the Kendo club bets with his former school senpai that if his girls kendo team can beat his then he wins a years worth of free food at his senpai's restraunt, however even assembling 5 girls for this battle appears hard, however he stumles upon the incredibly skills of a young girl who he's determended to join his team.

I found this manga to be fun and light hearted, A slice-of-life crossover with sports and high school life, again although these things aren't the typical things I would look for in a manga.The characters are well executed, especially Tama-chan who's background i've found interesting uptill now, and the rest who are very colourful yet still hold their own traits that are either humourous or just interesting to read.

To summarise read this if you're in a light hearted mood not looking for anything too serious, if the plot isn't interesting enough for you the characters will surely draw you in enough to make you want to keep reading on, I myself will defiantly look forward to up and coming chapters in this series. read more
