The Edo period of Japan gave rise to a clan of warriors with a very specialized, magical skill. The clan was known as the Manyuu, and the skill was the ability to administer a sword strike that could shrink the size of a woman's breasts. This might not seem like an ability that could exert power over a land, but in Manyuu Hikenchou, large breasts denote status, wealth, fame, and influence.
Grave concern has arisen in the Manyuu clan due to the actions of their chosen successor, Chifusa. Disgusted with the breast obsessed society that the Manyuu have created and perpetuated, Chifusa has not only deserted the clan, but also stolen the sacred scroll that details their techniques to growing and severing breasts.
Fortunately, Chifusa is not completely alone. Her fellow warrior Kaede is sympathetic to her cause; a sympathy that could place her in considerable danger. Now wanted by the very clan that raised her, Chifusa must defend her life and Kaede's while seeking to undo the damage their brethren have done to the land. Along the way, Chifusa will discover that she harbors a power that goes far beyond the scope of her training, one that could help shape and change the land that she seeks to bring equality to.

Whether you are going to watch this anime because of plot or the other plot, it's worth either way. Set in a parallel version of the Taihei Edo period, the series follows the busty samurai, Chifusa and her attendant Kaede. Story (7/10) In Manyuu Hikenchou, it's all about breasts. Breasts give you power, fame, wealth and respect. And so as you've realized, the plot revolves around breasts, the bigger the better. Chifusa and her attendant Kaede travel around the Japan to reach its final destination, Chifusa's home village in order to learn the ultimate technique: Breast Flow (乳流れ Chichi-nagare). Chichi-nagare allows to control the form ofbreasts and thus allowsr to enlarge or reduce breasts. But only Chifusa's clan is able to master this technique and Chifusa's goal is to give all women bigger breasts in order for them to be happier because if you're a flat chested girl in Manyuu Hikenchou's world, you're worthless.
Art and Sound (8/10)
Absolutely delightful art style, female character are obviously more detailed which I'm sure no one will complain. I did slightly find annoying that each episode(1-5 episode only) Chifusa's breasts from far out in her clothes almost looked the same but once nude. they looked huge.
Sound was top notch, the soundtrack was catchy and the vocals by AiRI were always a pleasure to hear (She's also in Tari Tari and Gundam Build Fighters). The voice actresses are no surprise and done their job flawlessly with great acting, but what I enjoyed most was definitely the traditional japanese music during Edo period, absoutely lovely and a joy to my ears.
Characters (7/10)
It wasn't "perfect" but it was definitely well developed, specially Chifusa and her sister Kagefusa. Chifusa's realization of her selfishness and the change she made was unexpected thing and it's not really often seen in ecchi animes. Same goes for Kagefusa who held a grudge but in the end was in tears and smiled after hugging her sister. Also the amount of characters we meet in these 12 episodes is large. Definitely not a bad thing for me, always enjoy seeing other characters and their personalities. Only problem is, they're given way too few time on the screen.
Enjoyment (10/10)
As I've written in the beginning, whatever the reason is you want to watch this, it is absolutely worth it. You have everything you want, swordplay, comedic scenes, beautiful music, adventure, plenty of character and most importantly: A lot of breasts.
Overall (7/10)
Ecchi animes are often low rated, and most of the times, it's deserved. But, Manyuu Hikenchou despite its ridiculous plot as some say it the main subject of anime(breasts) actually are connected to ours world. It's funny but in today's world, for the most of the people, if you have big breasts you're worth more than a flat chested girl and that is exactly what Manyuu Hikenchou shows, the life of two sides, one is a enjoyable one, the other one is a horror. Believe it or not, despite the fact that 70% times they show breasts the anime does send a good message.

2011's Manyuu Hikenchou is an absolute love-letter to fans of Breasts, know that I judge Anime based off of the genre they represent, not by arbitrary numbers. I rate Action anime by Action, Romance by Romance, Comedy by Comedy, Fanservice by FANSERVICE - and by Ecchi standards, Manyuu Hikenchou is a brilliant enigma of breast fanservice, and truly a pioneer in breast design. If you have any love for Oppai in your heart, than this anime is definitely for you. Story: Who really cares/10 While this show does indeed have a story and actually managed to keep me interested, it’s QUITE obvious what it was going for rightfrom the beginning and doesn’t let the story get in the way of all the fun. In a Tokugawa type era, Breasts mean everything… literally.
Art: K-Cups/10
The Best thing about this show besides the actual perverted themes themselves is without a doubt the art and pandering of the Oppai fetish. Every bit of breast-craft that Hoods Entertainment and director Hiraku Kaneko had learned while making Seikon no Qwaser was molded, honed, and perfected with Manyuu Hikenchou. In particular, the nipple and breast design of the show I believe is a cut-above all others.
Sound: Bounce/10
Manyuu took the sexiness up another level with the inclusion of Realistic-like “flop/smack” sound effects whenever a pair of tits came out and started to move around, a much better option than the usual anime trope of having a comical “boing!” noise. Just another example of how damn much perverted attention to detail Kaneko and Hoods gave the project.
Reviewing Oppai mastery like this in a text format is an incredible handicap, to get the entire picture with visual examples from the show, I would have to recommend reading my full series review.

For Oppai fans, the Kaneko/Hoods Ecchi Trifecta (Seikon no Qwaser, Manyuu Hikenchou, Kagaku na Yatsura) is essentially fetish pandering of the highest order. If you love Oppai, these shows may spoil you for anything else. They are very specific and masterful at Oppai Ecchi, nothing else compares.

"This anime has big tits in it, so it can't be good" - The serious and mature MAL critic. Manyuu Hikenchou is an erotic, samurai, action-comedy anime with a ridiculous premise that manages to be both superficially entertaining for its obvious ridiculousness and genuinely entertaining for the kind of story it's trying to tell. The episodes are mainly episodic in nature, but there is an overall narrative that never actually gets lost in unnecessary bullshit. Even seemingly filler scenarios and story beats manage to meander their way into the main story, becoming relevant by the end of the episode, or later on in the series,either thematically or more directly.
Characters are generally likeable, with the main duo being interesting enough to carry the series without boring the audience. There are plenty of supporting characters which are varied in appearance and personality. Motivations tend not to go too deep and the characters themselves rarely stray from their assigned roles for the show, but for the most part are inoffensive and fun to watch.
For samurai action, the animation and art are well done. For the erotic, the art and breast animation is exceptional. For the comedy, there are some genuine laughs to be had here and there.
The story itself is nothing too special, the breast-centric aspects of the plot notwithstanding, but for a show like this, good writing is necessary to prevent the audience from getting lost in the ridiculousness. If this anime shines, it does so with the overall execution of the story. The anime makes the plot a priority, and as far as episodic actions shows go, there's nothing really bad about it. The anime doesn't take itself too seriously, and while self-aware it never stoops so low as to dwell on self-parody. At some points it seems as if the anime wants to be a (albeit tongue-in-cheek) social commentary on our obsession with breasts. Making the point that breasts are a symbol of motherhood and are meant to nurture the next generation. Obviously, ironic for the kind of show that it is, but it isn't heavy-handed; one could say that itself is part of the comedy. There also seems to be an attempt at using breast size to stand-in for monetary or material wealth. Watching the anime with that in mind makes the scenarios even stranger, and possibly makes the anime even more meaningful comedically.
Just because Chifusa has incredibly big breasts doesn't mean that her only value is in her tits. The same could be said about this series as a whole as it has enough going for it that one could easily look past the tits if they wanted to.

I had to come back to this one. I watched a little bit of the first episode and immediately decided it was too much like Queen’s Blade. I watched some other things instead. When I finally sat down to watch it, I was pleasantly surprised. I have a hard time sitting through many ecchi shows. Queen’s Blade was troublesome and Seikon no Qwaser was completely unwatchable, but I actually enjoyed Manyuu Hikenchou. I think it’s because it knows it’s ridiculous and never remotely takes itself seriously. It also does a remarkably good job of not acting like the restof the show has no purpose beyond serving the ecchi content.

There's likely only 'two reasons' you might want to watch this, and it probably isn't for the story or characters. And that's okay. But thankfully, Manyuu Hikenchou does manage to fit likeable characters and a mostly engaging plot between it's other, main, bouncy draw. One thing that separates the show is how surprisingly good natured it is to the inhabitants of it's breast obsessed world. Instead of taking the cheap and lazy route of abusing characters for titillating pay off's, it takes time to let us learn about and even respect them. Although the main plot is too ludicrous to ever take fully seriously, Manyuu Hikenchou does explore manyaspects of boob culture that are reflective in our own society.
I know that sounds silly, but speaking for men everywhere, I've never really considered what women themselves think and feel about owning such bosoms in the first place.
The range of emotional and peer pressured strife that women have to endure was more than a little eye opening.
In fact, while the show starts and continues with many graphic scenes of toplessness, as it reaches conclusion, the frequency and detail of these fan service moments are severely toned down.
It's as if the creator, Hideki Yamada, wanted to remove the glamour and one dimensional status of these highly popular body parts and give them some respect and naturalness instead.
The show is far from perfect though, it drags in places and doesn't conclude some of the major conflicts it seemed poised to resolve.
It's an obvious ploy for a second season (which I'm all for) but i'd have preferred a completed arc rather than trying to stretch an already thin plotline even further still.
The voice acting, music and art are all top notch, and I found myself enjoying the show for a lot more reasons than the main two it promised.

Spoilers Again this is going to be one of those quick reviews considering again this is really early in the morning like 2 a.m. There definitely seems like there should have been a second season though it would have been more tits which isn't a bad thing there is quite a bit I am a tit guy but after a certain point of seeing constant tint on the screen it turns into about the story. The characters are one dimensional. Sound there is no sound other than me squish sound that everybody's tits make. Animation is actually really good like high-tier even A level type status.Storyline was pretty interesting but about 10 episodes and it gets pretty boring and monotonous. Again I'm a little too tired to do a little bit better review but is it worth the watch sure again if you like tits go ahead but other than that it really holds no value as a series because it doesn't end properly it ends on a cliffhanger does her sister get tits back does her handmaiden get her tits back will she have any tits left over for herself and if you're reading this and you're like what the fuck is he talking about then go watch the goddamn anime and don't pussyfoot around my fucking review, good night.

This series is a must NOT watch. It's main topic is "Breasts". I mean what kind of a story line is that? The ones who have big breasts prosper and the ones with small are doomed to live a poor life??? Even when people's breasts are cut off they become smaller instead of well... being cut... And the heroine is going to share boobies with everyone yayyyyyyy... no thanks. -_- So this anime is just pure ecchi with not a very good story which I found very boring. Even ecchi anime should have a atleast mediocre story behind it and most of all it should befun to watch not boring.
