Not sure if it will go anywhere or not, but I think it has potential.

Art quality is terrible, but the story's ok.
I keep reading "sodom" as "SODOMY" though. :|
Yeah, but I'm giving the mangaka slack since it's the first chapter. I'm waiting to see if the story gets any better or not.
By "last weeks issue of Jump" you mean "issue of Jump that was last eight weeks ago", since it is already at chapter nine.
It's nice to see it being picked up, but who knows, how long it will endure in Jump's harsh enviroment. At the very least, I liked the portrayal of powers: Tokugawa in the light, Hideyoshi in the dark, and Oda in the grey.

Really? Huh, I guess I assumed because mangareader had the scan then. Means it took a bit to get translated I guess.
So, there's nine chapters?
Where can I read the rest? o.O
I like this one. The theme is attractive, the main character is a SanjiLuffy, and an arc has been laid out.
Where is chapter 2?
Not sure. Hope it gets translated soon though.
The character design reminds me alot of Ultimo/Shaman King is some places. I may check it out if the future if there's more chapters.
Well, I've been helping with this project and I think we will bulk release Chapters 2-4 some time tomorrow or the next day. Don't expect HQ releases until Chapter 5 since we just got a decent raw provider and our group is a bit young and amateur.
Anyways, I must say that the story theme is quite interesting but I also find the art sometimes good then awful. And I also think it has similiraties with Shaman King's art specially the face and body structure. It uses Edo theme minus stereotypical samurai plus awesome weapons so its cool to me. And Muku (the bald monk apprentice) is funny.
Awesome! Can't wait to read more!
It was rather interesting and I like the idea behind the weapons.
Been ages since we've had a good Sengoku period manga. I love manga set in Japan's past.
I'm liking the humor in this series so far. The fight scenes get a little hard to read at times but maybe that will change with a proper villain being introduced soon.
Really good chapters. Liked number 2 the best of the new ones though. Still not 100% sure the reason for going after Masamune, except that he works for Hideyoshi. Anyways, can't wait for number 5 to get scanned.
I've just started reading this. It's caught my interest, that's for sure.
Chapter 5 is out http://bit.ly/k6Z9Ft

Indeed. I'm glad to see that you guys finally got better scans. The story is really starting to get interesting now in it's first arc.
Btw RDarren, you're part of the Clockworks group that puts these out right. First off thank you for that, and second I was wondering if you could explain the reason why the characters are attacking the Date? I mean, I understand that they work for the bad guy, but why are they suddenly attacking them? What reason?
The Date owns the Kurohabaki (those ninjas that attempt to kidnap Ochou). They mainly attacked the base to gather information from Masamune himself –about why Hideyoshi wants the princess in her possesion-- which they can't get from those fodder ninjas since they tend to be loyal to their duty and the Date. As said in chapter 3, those ninjas they captured in chapter 2 tend to shut their mouth even if they were already tortured by Muku.
Thanks, that explains a lot.

Thanks for taking this up, glad a group did
Looks like number 6 came up today. Liked seeing the new sodom in action. Since there are five of those super sodom, and the first two are based on fire and wind, maybe all 5 of them correspond with the 5 elements.
Just took a looked at some of the recent shoenen jump rankings, looks like Sengoku Armours will probably get cancelled. It's pretty low in the rankings early on anyways.
