Samurai stories hit close to home with many people, more often than not, because they feature cool, sword-wielding warriors who almost always fight for a cause that's far greater than themselves. Samurai tales are about love, resilience, friendship, and a strong moral code theyre the pinnacle of real-life shounen protagonists, and their stories reflect that perfectly. And although Ninja content has taken the lead in terms of popularity in the anime and manga community, it still doesn't have the strength in numbers. The Samurai culture is one of the most represented and widely covered subjects in the industry. The best part is, that the industry has so many good samurai manga out there, it's really hard to go for one 'signature' one that could represent the entire trope.
