It's samurai vs. aliens! The samurai didn't stand a chance. First, the aliens invaded Japan. Next, they took all the jobs. And then they confiscated everyone's swords. So what does a hotheaded former samurai like Gintoki "Gin" Sakata do to make ends meet? Take any odd job that comes his way, even if it means losing his dignity.

Gintama is in my opinion the best manga to come up in a long while. Is funny, it has action and the characters are just great. VIZ media is doing a great job at the translation, they just added the honorifics, which make it even better. They still need to put some refences. For newcomers to manga some things will not make sense, its still funny; but you need to have some knowledge of Japanese culture and other anime and manga to really appreciate the greatness that is gintama. I really recomend this manga, give it a try.
