“When the actions of her feudal lord begin to lay the seeds of doubt within her, a samurai with exceptional swordplay and even far greater courage, must make a bold decision that forever changes her fate-along with the history of Japan itself!“

So, speaking of exotification, how far removed form reality must a western creator be to make some sort claim that these covers are reflective of the samurai?  Are they not aware that pants were actually a noteable thing for samurai due to their frequent status as cavalry?

Do they not understand the idea of doing a cool fantasy world full of basically East Asian people (in the same way most are full of basically Anglo-Saxons) would be sufficiently novel and exciting without dragging a real world culture that’s already largely misunderstood into it?

Oniba: Swords of the Demon is yet another title that poses a lot of questions… and none of them good.
