Incredibly beautiful (though strange in drawing faces) Animation takes us back to the feudal era, the era of samurai and geisha. The story (despite the confusion of the narrative) It was incredibly easy. I understand everything, Noitamina, but who would have thought that historical crime is so charming! At the center of the story is a family not by blood, but by friendship, united by a single goal (profit), consisting of a wide variety of characteristic personalities, where everyone will find a soul to their liking. The music seems to be dancing a tango with us, and considering the set of seiyu, I want to dance! Despite the predominantly gloomy brown-gray tones of the anime, it is very bright and kind in content, showing the best human traits. And so it gets sad that he only has 12 episodes... Actually, I really like this manga, Ono Natsume, from the Ristorante Paradiso. She has so many interesting manga!!! Noitamina, order another TV series.

To everyone who thinks whether to watch or not to watch:
there will be no cool fights, vivid action, clever conspiracies and absolutely cool mafiosi who you will want to admire. There will be a quiet and very unhurried story with an awesome soundtrack, with a strange drawing, about ordinary people, with their lives, worldview, problems and motivation that these problems give them. A story that, having been taught by a ton of senen, you first watch while thinking: "well, when will it start, samurai, all the business, the fights, the danger???" - and they don't even start running on the roofs, and mostly move around only three, maximum four, locations, and discuss all sorts of things a lot. Or they just sit and keep quiet. And for some reason you're watching anyway. And then you add the whole title to your favorites. And you review it from time to time.
