View Full Version : Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism
Was wondering why no thread for this yet but yea
The Private Aichi Symbiosis Academy was originally a high school for high-class girls, when it became co-ed, the girls, out of fear, asked to be permitted to bring weapons to school. When that was enforced, a five-member vigilante corps-like organization called the "Supreme Five Swords" was also formed.
After many generations, the five swords eventually became a group which corrected problematic students and such the academy started proactively accepting such students in order to correct them.
Nomura Fudou was sent to that school after being part of a huge brawl, what will he do when the only options he has after enrolling are being expelled from that school too or being corrected the way the rest of the male students there were… by being forced to dress and act like girls!
also i found FT's pegasus' son/daughter in it XD
Heh, I wanted to make a topic, but manga titles seem to get straight buried after half a day under the old LN/M combined thread =02.
Skilled MC is great(typical gary stu so far, but enjoyable), but I really like masked girl too =03. She was kinda cute in chp 2. Will be looking forward to see how he deals with the other girls.
he looked like accelerator to me at 1st
I read the first few chapters... I am liking it so far. I want more info on the girl with the "wound" that cant heal O_o Something about her is interesting.

Anyone bet that the "Empress" was actual a Trap?
She's a girl but when she met him outside before he came to the school she was disguised as a boy in order to convince the local hooligans to follow her as their leader.

Really? Did she do any fanservice? Because if not, "she" could be a "he" crossdressing at school. The MC fought her before and I think it's not too hard for a fighter of his level to identify his opponent's gender.

One panel shows her naked and yes she's a girl. Amou is still above Nomura and the fight was pretty one sided, he couldn't even touch her
she does seem somewhat fixate on him..something "that's my prey"

hell yeah, koharu ojousama finally appears. So yukino is the school headmaster and Eva is the head of the dorm caretakers. Yeah, aichi gakuen is owned by the narukami family no doubt about that. The authors weren't kidding when they said this series was set 1 year after the end of shinakoi. Soon enough other character from shinakoi is gonna appear as well. Then again , considering tsukuyo first appeared there, it's not really a surprise. Really hope ryunosuke and Sakura will appear soon. Really curious about the progress of their relationship since the end of shinakoi. I wonder if kitagawa is still jelly as he always was toward Sakura? Heheh, if ryunosuke appears in front of tsukuyo she'll probably go all : "oni chaaan!" Really hope that if other shinakoi characters appear, they will just be supporting characters. The authors themselves said that ryunosuke and koharu are power breakers and nobody in busou shoujou can defeat them. In any case, this series just keep getting more exicting for me

It isn't a sequel nor is it a spin-off.
A sequel would imply it has the same main characters and the same plot, and a spin-off would imply the same story is used.
And, though Shinakoi and this story happen at the same place and in the same timeline, the main characters aren't the same and the plot isn't the same either.
All Busou Shoujo does is recycle some characters from Shinakoi, since the latter seems to have had a rushed ending that didn't actually wrap up the story.

Uh, what? No, a sequel or spin of doesn't need to have the same story or characters. A sequel can have the main character's children as the MC this time or an unrelated character with only a tiny or no connection to the previous MC, Kamille Bidan for example. Spin off have even more freedom than sequel. Quote from wiki: any narrative work, derived from one or more already existing works, that focuses, in particular, in more detail on one aspect of that original work (e.g. a particular topic, character, or an event).
For example, Frasier is a spin off from Cheers, taking a major supporting character and making him the MC of the spin off. It also has a very different style of humor than the main series. Spin off usually have a different overall plotline and different major and supproting characters thanks to it usually having a diferrent setting than the main series.
A sequel usually just follows the previous work, obviously. But while the overall plotline might be similar, the plot itself can be rather different. Batman Begins and The Dark Knight for example. Both are about Batman stopping a master criminal, but the way it happens is different and the sequel having a darker endng.
Busou shoujo qualifies as both a spinoff and stealth sequel
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/StealthSequel
It is set one year after the end of Shinakoi, it features a major last minute character from Shinakoi, Tsukuyo, as one of the main characters. Tsukuyo's ultimate technique, the Unyo, is also explained in detail in Shinakoi and is major plot point there and considering how Nomura react to it when he saw Tsukuyo using it, I'm not gonna be surpised if it becomes important in the future too. Tsukuyo's servant Eva, a major last minute character also, is now the head caretaker of the dormitory of Aiichi. The headmistress of the school, Yukino, is Koharu's loyal servant and assassin. Yukino is a major character in Shinakoi. and of course, Koharu the main antagonist in Shinako is now power behind Aichi. Hell, the fighting style used by Nomura? The Jigen ryu
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jigen-ry%C5%AB
The same technique used by Ryuunosuke, the male MC of Shinakoi. It's just that Nomura applies it to a hand-to-hand fighting style instead, thanks to his hatred in using swords. Of course, Ryuunosuke's mastery of the style is far greater.
With Koharu appearing now, it won't be surpising if the authors will start making a connections between the two series and showing in more detail what happens after Shinakoi's rushed ending. Oh and no, while it was rushed most of the story was complete. It would be lovely if the authors would confirm some minor details that wasn't shown though.
Seriously, I could go on and on about this.

Thanks for clearing.the case. So I was right.
From what I understood
While I not seen its prequel, as long as its a new story with a new MC and it flows from there, then I guess its readable without feeling you arnt missing any vital parts of the story. Meaning the prequal isnt really important, but merely just references.
Is that correct ?

For the Aiichi arc, probably not, but now that Koharu and Yukino has enter the fray? Again, these two are the ones who controls the school, any future arc will involve them. And any future story arc involving Tsukuyo's past will be connected to Shinakoi that's for sure. And I'm not gonna be surprised if the person who raised Nomura and trained him is someone from Shinakoi. Point is, those who read Shinakoi (and who loves and practiced real world martials arts like me, all the fighting style in Shinakoi and Busou Shoujo are real ones or takes inspiration from one) will be able to enjoy Busou Shoujo much more.

Pfft, yeah right. Do you know that almost every martial arts in the series are actual martial arts in Japan and while some of them are exaggerated for the manga, most of them are accurate? Some of the effects of the techinque are obviously exaggerated just like many martial art series out there, like Kenichi. The writer even listed many times the source or manual books and the name of it's authors he used to learn the techniques. He's actualy a martial arts practicioner himself and still learning even to these day. DBZ? Wow, this is probably the reason I much prefer talking to the Japanese fandom when it comes to this series, many of them are actual practicioner of the arts, it's much more informative when i talked to them. The accurate presetantion are one of the reason Shinakoi become a cult manga in Japan. Readers who are martial arts practicioners actually praised it. One actual practicioners of the Taisha Ryu, the style used by Warabi even thanked the author for using the style as it is generally uknown to the general public. Even his Sensei and fellow students loves busou shoujo
Here's the wiki links for the styles used by the main characters. Almost all the techniques used by the characters are real ones. Most of these are Japanese wiki:
Onigawara:Kashima Shinden Jikishinkage-ryū
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashima_Shinden_Jikishinkage-ry%C5%AB
Warabi: Taisha Ryu
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%BF%E3%82%A4%E6%8D%A8%E6%B5%81
Satori: Keishiryu Kidachi Kata(This is the techniques that is given to police officers in Japan, which probably is a hint to whoever is Satori's master)
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%AD%A6%E8%A6%96%E6%B5%81
Tsukuyo: Yakumaru Jigen Ryu (Iai)
https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%96%AC%E4%B8%B8%E8%87%AA%E9%A1%95%E6%B5%81
Nomura: Jigen Ryu (but in this he applied to a hand-to-hand fighting style, so the author invented some of it)
Amou: Okinawan Karate (The Tenagata (手刀)/sword hand is a technique from aikido and okinawan martial arts. Obviously, the author exaggerated to the point it can actually cut).
Even little detail such as the etiquette post-battle is shown. Ryuunosuke in Shinakoi erased his footprints in accordance to the Jigen Ryu
Well, turns out it's still more enjoyable talking to the japanese fandom. I think after this post I'm not gonna answer any more questions. I probably still post the newest spoiler though. BTW, I just heard that the writer is currently taking a rest due to a colon cancer operation. So the next two chapters will be shorter than usual, followed by two months hiatus. Anime won't be affected.

So, even Amou has heard of the Narukami family. Yeah, they're the strongest family all right. As expected, Amou couldn't even put a dent on Koharu, which means that both her and Nomura are nothing compare to Ryuunosuke and Koharu. And ooh, is that a shiloutte of Ryuunosuke, Tadakatsu, Tatsuko and Tomo I'm seeing? So, Koharu is the administrator huh? Kinda wondering where Ryuunosuke fits in all this. Beautiful, dignified and still amazingly dangerous. Ah, Koharu, don't ever change
A lot of people wants Koharu's head? No surprise there. Amou got put in her place for the first time, well considering she's probably no match for even Yukino, aiming for Koharu is kinda moot point. Koharu's Unyo (Jinrai) is still awesome as always. Man, I thougt the writer was joking when he said Koharu is far stronger than Tsukuyo, well I guess he wasn't.
Seriously, Amou. If you know who Koharu is, why do you bother challenging her. Especially with Koharu's already very dangerous servant and assassin in the same room.
Amou: I can kill anytime you I want.
A few pages later, she realizes she screwed up good, even her auto counter doesn't work against Koharu. It took Nomura using madan and some assistance from Tsukuyo to defeat Amou. Koharu just uses a pen. If they had continue further, Koharu would've beat the crap out of Amou. She's shit compare to Koharu
So the punishment is decided: Amou will be transferred from Aiichi Kyosei Gakuen to Hokkai Kyousei Gakuen. Really wondering if it's going to be worst than Aichi? I'm really curious where all of this is going and Koharu's endgame. There's gotta be a reason for her connections will at these corrections schools. A lot of people are speculating the next arc will be a fight between schools, maybe that's where this is all going.
Somehow, I really think the next arc are going to start introducing characters just as if not more dangerous than Amou or Nomura. With Koharu orchestrating everything, anything can happen. As much as I like busou shoujo and it's characters, seeing Koharu and Yukino just reminded me why I like Shinakoi and it's characters even more. No pairing in Busou Shoujo can beat Sakura x Ryuunosuke
I really, really hope the authors will include Sakura and Ryuunosuke in this arc or the next one. Can't wait to see the progress of the lovebirds' relationship. Well, the total amount of pages were definitely shorter than usual. Can't wait for the next chapter. Sigh....and then two months hiatus. I wish for a speedy recovery for the writer.

The only thing I understand is that Amou was removed from the school, damn, I wanted her to interact with the MC. That was I think everyone was looking for after their battle :/
But their exchange of fists was so intense and emotional.
Some of the people on a Vietnamese translation site joked that it was a lover's quarrel taken to the extreme, and that Amou got so pissed cause Nomura was flirting with someone else right in front of her:heh::heh:

Like Iko said, it's hard for foreigners to enjoy this series compare to Japanese, to put it in example, when we are talking about Sword saint, 90% of foreigner would answer that the strongest is Miyamoto Musashi while a portion would say Yagyu Jubei. But in Japan, it's a very heated debate between, Tsukahara Bokuden, Miyamoto Musashi and Narimasa, with most person would likely voted for Narimasa and then Bokuden instead of Musashi. Busou shoujo also draw a stark contrast with Kenichi, where most move are exaggrated and losing the historical accuracy and tossing the etiquette outside of the windows, Busou shoujo focus more on Koryu as in actual ancient art, which, again, already hard enough for people in Japan to found info on, much less for people outside Japan.

For those who don't know who Narimasa is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiba_Shusaku_Narimasa
yes, he's very legendary in Japan and yes, he's a kensei (sword saint)
And for completion sake, I'll list the styles used by Shinakoi characters:
Tooyama Sakura: Tankendo and Commando Sambo
Ryuunosuke Sakaki: Jigen Ryu
Kazumi Kitagawa: Jigen Ryu (but he modifies it to fit his own fighting style. He uses a specially made shinai, orochi, which is 2-3 times longer than a normal shinai)
Tatsuko Sakaki (ryuunosuke's mother): jigen ryu
Ango Inoguchi: Yagyu Shinkage Ryu
Koharu Narukami and the rest of the Narukami family: Yakumaru Jigen Ryu
Yukino Fujibayashi: Ninjutsu
Kujira Satou: Aikido (both with weapon and unarmed)
Hanuma Seiten: Bojutsu
The fact that this series often lovingly divulges important fact about the martial arts used, such as during Nomura vs Tsukuyo, or Nomura & Tsukuyo vs Amou is one of the main reason I love this series and Shinakoi. It's also the reason I'm hoping one day someone can create a comic with as much as detail as this one about the martial arts of my homeland with as much love and care

I know right? Author could take something what is popular among readers and make it even more popular to his advantage but for some reason he isn't while forgetting why his previous works got axed.

lol.
Sad we won't get that again for years again I suspect+with the breaks and being a monthly series)
Well, Shinakoi fans probably will like the new arc but since I started with this series and I'm getting lost I might just drop it once the anime ends airing, at least I'll buy the tankos the anime covers and the BD if Silver Link makes it enjoyable. Might check the manga once in a while for updates but on low priority.

2016-10-26, 10:19
Amou is not the only popular character in the series, she never was. Do you guys actually checked the responses of the Japanese fandom or you just think because you like her then she is soooo popular among readers? Tsukuyo is just as if not more popular among the japanese fandom than Amou.
And why Shinakoi got axed? Do you even bother check that it was transferred to another magazine (Shonen Ace) where it starts losing popularity. It was rather popular in it's original magazine, Comic Rush and even managed to get a Drama CD. But then the magazine folded and then it got transferred to Shonen Ace which honestly doesn't suit the series, especially compare to Busou Shoujo.
I mean, I like Amou, but all this talks like she's the only reason why the series popular in Japan is really starting to get annoying. Honesly, I prefer Koharu far more than Amou and would've like it if she really bet the crap out of Amou in chapter 32. And honestly, they're not that different, hurting lots of people for the man they're obsessed with.

I see it a little different, leaving aside Amou, in case of Koharu, she was actually a pretty bad character until the last few chapter where her character is redeemed a bit in Shinakoi, at this point, while it's hard to call her bad, still didn't change the fact that she is the weakest link in the story. In Busou shoujo, unless the author does some seriously good background settings, otherwise it's will just turn out like kuroageha said

There's nothing of plot-importance in chapter 32 between Amou and Koharu, other than Koharu pretty much dressing down Amou psychologically and showing her that no, she can't beat her. The only important dialogue is when Koharu delivered Amou's punishment: sending her to Hokkai Kyousei School. That's it. There's also a bit of dialogue concerning the narukami family, but that's for those who read shinakoi.If anything, this chapter open up possibility for Shcool vs School plot for the next arc. There's nothing indicating Nomura is leaving forever, especially since the end of ch 30 clearly has him saying "Tadaima" when he arrived at aichi. From the looks of it, chapter 31-32 took place before Nomura got back from the hospital visiting Warabi etc

Turns out chapter 32 is split between last month and this month's issue. Well, Amou is officialy moving to Hokkai, the other symbiosis academy located in the north and Koharu seems to have taken an interest in Amou.
Looks like Ryuunosuke just entered University, which means Sakura is a third-year now. Man, really can't wait until this two appear.
Koharu's brocom for Ryuunosuke is still strong, very very strong in fact... There's a bunch of philosophical discussion on what Koharu want for her school and how it differs from her father, the big bad of Shinakoi.
Koharu hoped that moving to Hokkai will change Amou for the better.
The one who appointed Tsukuyo to watch over Nomura was Koharu as it turns out. It seems Koharu will let Tsukuyo decides how to deal with him. Ah, beautiful sister love.
Hokkai is the reverse of Aichi, as it's previously a boys only school and is the main school according to Koharu. Like Aichi, it also got a group of "guardians" just like Tenka Goken, only this one seems to be chosen by defeating the previous guys holding the position. From the looks of it, they're comprises of badasses. The current leader of Hokkai is called the "Meiteiou" (drunken king). His name is Nonomura Kigisu also called "furafura aruki no nomura"("dizzy walking" nomura). (Furafura can be translated as dizzy, wobbly or stagger and aruki is walking) Probably refer to how he walks and why he's called the drunken king. It seems Yukino thinks he's even stronger than Amou and defeating him will be difficult even for Amou. Well, looks like we got another badass Nomura. Really hope he's a practicioner of Drunken Boxing.
It's a new arc next time. The final page said it will continue next issue, but considering the author just finished his surgery, I don't know whether it will continue as usual or taking the two month break I said previously.

No hiatus, but like chapter 32, it's split into parts to accomodate the author's post-surgery recovery.
So, the gist of it:
- Nomura not happy with Amou getting transferred
- Yukino and Koharu tell him what airport she will board
- Rin and Mary surprisingly told him to go after her so not to left things hanging
- Another cameo from Shinakoi, this time Sakura's two best friend appears and seems to be on friendly term with Koharu. The author really needs to stop teasing the fans and just show them Sakura and Ryuunosuke, really
- Finally, Amou in civilian clothing
- Nomura actually bought a ticket to follow Amou
- Amou kiss and bites (yes really) Nomura in the lips
- Amou told him he is always in her heart since the begining she met him, and Nomura thinks in his own thought that he feels the same
- They say their goodbye for now
- The final narration is hopeful that they will meet again

Basically:
-Nomura, Rin and Mary goes to Nomura's old school
- One of Amou's old lackey is now the head bully of the school
- The three helped Nomura's old friend from the school, Michiyuki Kirisaki
- Michiyuki asked Nomura if he met his sister, Chidori Kirisaki, a problem child who is also sent to the Kyousei Gakuen. Nomura answers he didn't
- It seems the sister is instead in Hokkai
- We got our first glimpse of Kigisu Nonomura

Is it on hiatus?
Woah. Shes going to set him up and blackmail him... What an evil scheming girl.
Providing he can get enough evidence to prove they entered the boys dorm. I guess its going to be hopeless for him otherwise. Non of the girls would really trust him either :/ bet you those two will call him a rapist/pervert next chapter as well :/ I'd be impressed if one of the girls does stand by him tho.
Well there you go, I am impressed by the loli bear girl. Interesting enough I was thinking the green hair girl was going to spread it around the school. I thought she hated him getting widely accepted by the schools students as a motive. Turns out she may just want to tarnish the 2 fives swords following him instead. Guess the damage is minimal then.
Well MCs counter attack begins. cant wait til next chapter.
I thought the loli was cruel kind, but learning its only really her projected image for certain reasons. Shes kinda cool. Someone whos intelligent and rational. Seems like she could have an interesting bond with the MC. That bear tho, "only after one overcomes prejudice and fear, can they witness his true form" <--- lol win
Man~ This MC is so Alpha~
I was thinking when the MC said "he" wasnt the one with the erection and it was blurred for her good reason. I got the thought he was implying she was a trap.... But being naked in the bath, she really is female. boobs and mist-san. so whys he implying the photo is a double edged sword O_o. She wouldnt of shot the photo naked if she didnt want others to see O_o
Well I guess hes going to beat some sense into her now. But oddly enough, she really predicted he'd come ? O_o
loli seems way cooler now, how she stabbed herself to keep herself awake and prevent interference . Thats badass.

Wait, what?
When he said to the loli, "he wasnt the one with the erection"..... I thought it could of implied it was her, as a trap. Well that was only an "imply" because we see her naked at the end of the chapter to dismiss it. Its there 2 chapters ago.
So whats this double edge sword thing with the photo is what I wonder. They talk as if she wouldnt want the "unblurred" image to get out. Its probably related to the I didnt have the erection thing he said. Some detail I dont understand yet

I need to catch up, the raws are difficult to find and the koreans versions are a nightmare to understand.
Can someone please give me a detailed explanation as to who exactly are Koharu, her assassin servant with dull eyes, and if possible the Drunken King? Thank you!
In terms of skill, how strong exactly is Koharu?

I guess someone who knows the prequel would know.
Guys, what happened in the Manga's latest raw chapters ?
Is no one going to answer my question?

I don't know.
Chapter 64: We get to see Nomura's past and his childhood friends. The emptiness he left behind when he moved away took a heavy toll on his two closest friends... why they are showed in an antagonist light tho?
