Next to Kan'u, the series revolves mainly around her companions Chouhi, Koumei, as well as Sei and Bachou when they are present in her party.
This goes from working at a restaurant to participating in a martial arts contest, an eating contest, fighting bandits, solving a kidnapping case. “Koihime Musou” is really all about cute girls sharing laughs on their journey together.Īs such, the series is also mostly episodic with each episode telling a tale of how Kan'u and her travelling party befriend someone new, defeat a foe encountered on their path or have other adventures. While there is a certain amount of action it's primarily used for the overarching plot of Kan'u trying to bring more peace to the people and as such does not play a pivotal role. That being said, “Koihime Musou” still focuses mainly on the humour and situations the characters find themselves in. As the series progresses, the viewer can't help but wonder who will try to go after Kan'u next or which yuri joke will befall her. Though most of the yuri related scenes are either humoristic in nature or pure fanservice, at no time are serious bonds or relationships really thoroughly explored save for the bond of sisterhood that forms between Kan'u and Chouhi.įrom the yuri related scenes, Kan'u is the appealing victim of most, whether she's being teased by Chouun, embarrassed by Chouhi or openly pursued by Sousou. The anime focuses more on Kan'u Unchou and the many other girls she encounters and befriends on her journey to bring peace throughout the war torn and crime infested lands.Ī nice change from the many harem series out there and with its all-female cast “Koihime Musou” pulls the card of comedy and suggested shouju-ai or yuri relationships. Already quite different is the fact all of the famous characters from “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” are female in “Koihime Musou”.īut instead of having a male lead character that all the female characters fawn over and desire to be with, the “Koihime Musou” anime forgoes this classical harem and omits the male lead character from the eroge. Kousonsan doesn't have to pay for the food Enshou lended her city and Ryūbi's party leaves for Enjutsu's city.An anime adaptation of the eroge “Koihime Musou” which in turn is loosely based on the “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” novel, it takes a more novel and surprising approach than we are used to for anime series that are based on eroge. Though, Ryūbi can't get her sword back because Enshou just lended it to her cousin Enjutsu before (through Choukun's saying that is a pun of The Emperor's New Clothes).
The last match, Kousonsan and Enshou in Sumo Wrestling of Ladies wearing a swan loincloth (though Kousonsan wears her white-horse loincloth), ends with Kousonsan's win (her power goes up while she remembers how unnoticeable she was). And the games later with Bunshuu and Chōhi in Arm Wrestling, Ganryou in Tongue Twister, Bunshuu and Kan'u in Imitations, Ryūbi in "What's in the box?", Bunshuu and Chouun in Staring Contest, Ganryou and Chōhi in Bean Carrying, Clam-matching, Cosplaying and the games come to a tie 150-150. Ganryou loses Ryūbi 11-13 to Eel Catching (by breasts) Game. Koumei loses 0-100 to Ganryou in Question Game (about Enshou's secrets). They're involved to Enshou's stupid games as usual. Because Enshou's lending food for her city, Kousonsan must give it to her as a proof that she will repay Enshou. She tells them that the sword isn't here now. Kousonsan welcomes them and is surprised that Ryūbi comes with them. Episode Description: Ryūbi and her party come Kousonsan's city.
