Sengoku Youko is a manga that I might never really understand the appeal of to most fans.
The plot is actually split up into two different parts, with the first half focusing on the journey of these two demon siblings and this human samurai that has no talent and they fight an evil organization, but one of the siblings ends up getting super overpowered, and the second half focusing on an already overpowered villain turned hero as he fights to gain the power to defeat the one sibling in the first half.

I love Mizukami Satoshi, but this does not really mantain the same consistency of quality as his other acclaimed works (Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammar and Spirit Circle).
