Ranking of all Matsumoto Jiro's Manga I've read

What is the first thing you think about, when you think of Japan?
Samurai !!

In this stack I’ve listed all the samurai manga that I’ve read so far. Some are philosophical, some are childish, some are dark and some are pure action.

It’s a mixed bag. But they all revolve around samurai.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Manga with tactical fights/strategic battles that are not determined by strength or numbers but how they use what they have available to them, using their knowledge/cunning to outsmart their opponent, exploiting weakness, planning beforehand or quick thinking in the heat of battle and using what's in their immediate surroundings to their advantage.

Not all included manga are at the same level when it comes to tactical fights/strategic battles and while the majority of fights are tactical and the battles strategic there are some that are not.

1 title per series

Shinsengumi*, black ships, Ryoma, time slips
Mito rebellion, Gaijin smash, Tokugawa about to crash
Ronin, Jin, Ruroni Kenshin
Oh, I did forget to mention

We didn't start the fire~**

*Split into their own stack
**Edo is burning

When possible, I'll add chapter numbers where I remember those scenes.

Note: this is not really meant to lure lewd otaku. It's a way to warn readers that they may stump unpreparedly (like I did in some of them) on steamy and/or explicit (un)censored sex scenes.

Keep in mind that it most of the times isn't spectacular of any kind, hence as to why they don't have it listed.

(Also thanks to Miralix)

Mangas that have a sword and sorcery, sword-and-sandal, medieval/fantastical middle ages like setting
