Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman(2013)

Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman is a Japanese anime series that blends historical fantasy with heist thrills. By day, Manjirou works as a humble helper; by night, he becomes Roman, a phantom thief who steals back precious items stolen from innocent people. The series follows Roman as he navigates a shadowy underworld of crime and justice, retrieving what rightfully belongs to others. With character designs by Monkey Punch, the creator of Lupin III, the show captures that same spirit of clever theft and moral ambiguity. Set against a fantasy version of Japan's turbulent Bakumatsu period, Bakumatsu Gijinden Roman combines stylish action with a Robin Hood-like premise, offering viewers a protagonist who operates outside the law to right wrongs.
