So is this thread alive or dead? Anyway for those interested:
Yaiba (by Gosho Aoyama - 24 volumes)
Difficulty - **
Furigana - Yes
Old manga by the author of Detective Conan.
First volume is really not that great, the main character, Yaiba, is a bit of a jackass. Each time he was meant to be doing something funny he rather came out as rather obnoxious...
Thankfully by volume 2 it gets better, it looks a lot like Dragon Ball. Definitely not the read of your life but enjoyable nevertheless. You even get attached to many characters, MC excepted (I have high hopes for an heroic death at the end!).
Level is really low, compared to what I've read until now (lower than Detective Conan), for the first time I read a volume each day (get a used set very cheap on amazon.co.jp or whatever if you can, mine was 27€, shipping to France included...) instead of my usual 2-3 chapters. The main difficulty comes from samurai vocabulary and slang.
