I have been a big fan of Weekly Shounen Jump comics since about 10 years ago. As a Jump otaku, I still subscribe a Jump magazine and read it every Monday without fail!

Recently, I feel that the number of comedy manga in Jump series has increased a lot!!! These comedy manga are not just about comedy. They contain wonderful dramas filled with laughter, tears, battles, friendships......etc. They are no longer just comedy. It is full of excitement!

Today, I want to introduce you to this kind of comedy that contains more than comedy!
Gintama

Not only in Japan! This manga is very popular worldwide!! It was serialized in the Weekly Shounen Jump from 2004 to 2018 and in the Jump GIGA since 2019. It was made into a TV anime in 2006. The 3 anime movies and 2 live action movies were also released. Gintama is one of the most popular manga in the Jump series.
Gintama
The story took place in the capital city of ancient Japan, Edo.
In the late Edo period, humans were suddenly attacked by aliens called “Amanto.” Japan became a warzone for decades against the aliens. Many samurai fought against the Amanto aliens and lost their lives. Despite their effort, the Edo Shogunate cowardly surrendered and allowed the invaders to enter the country. As a result, Amanto took control of the government. They prohibited people from carrying swords so that samurai's swords were confiscated. The influence of the Edo Shogunate was weakened.
20 years after Amanto's invasion, Shimura Shinpachi, who is a son of a kendo master, was working hard at his part time job. He and his sister, Tae, who works as a hostess at a bar in Kabukichou are both dreaming about rebuilding their father's Kendo dojo in the future. They both cannot find any jobs that their sword skills benefit.

Shimura Shinpachi
One day......
Shinpachi was beaten by the owner of the store where he was working part time. He was not good at using the cash register and got harassed by an Amanto customer. Suddenly a guy appeared and saved Shinpachi!

“Oh no! My chocolate parfait!!! It spilled all over!! It's gone!!”

“I was told not to eat many sweets due to my high blood sugar level by my doctor!!! I can eat a parfait only once a week!!!”
He was yelling and knocked off the harassing Amanto customer with his wooden sword in an instant! People cannot carry swords at that time, but he looked like a very rough samurai, but also he looked very sincere.

Sakata Gintoki

This guy who helped Shinpachi put the blame of knocking out the Amanto on Shinpachi and left......
Somehow, Shinpach fled from authorities and followed the guy, Sakata Gintoki, who was about to leave by motorcycle.
Shinpachi's sister, Tae, showed up by chance. Gintoki ended up being slapped by her and finally apologized to Shinpachi.
Gintoki owns Yorozuya in Kabukichou and works as a handyman.
“If you are in trouble, I can solve anything!” Gintoki Said. Shinpachi replied “You are the trouble!” Shinpachi gets angry at him again!

While they were having a friendly conversation, the debt collector showed up to Shinpachi and Tae. The brother and sister were supposed to repay the debt their father left.
Due to the sword prohibition order, they cannot open their kendo dojo. They are just trying to survive every day with a little money. There was no money to return, so they begged to wait for a while.

Shimura Tae
The debt collector told Tae if she worked at their business for Amanto and repaid the money, they would not touch the dojo. She agreed to work at their place in order to save the dojo which her father built and her brother was hoping to reopen. Looking at his sister, Shinpachi was frustrated at himself as he could not help her.

While seeing Shinpachi, Gintoki offered......
![](/media/binary/001/748/194/1748194.jpg)
“There is no reason for samurai to work.”
“If there is something that a samurai wants to protect, he can just take the sword.”
They were going to take Tae back.

“Hello! We are Yorozuya!”
After this incident, Tae was back safely and Shinpachi started working under Gintoki at Yorozuya. Meanwhile, a mysterious girl who has a red umbrella and wears a china dress appears all of sudden. Her name is Kagura.

Shinsengumi special police force for Edo, Katsura Kotarou who knows Gintoki's past and is trying to fight against Amanto, Elizabeth as Kotarou's pet, Otose who is a landlord of Yorozuya office and so on!

The story includes parodies that almost touch their copyrights and the comedy storyline has a good tempo. The episodes contain wonderful dramas filled with tears, laughter, comedy......etc. It is understandable why this manga is loved all over the world!!

I personally like the episodes from 365~370, A Letter from Baragaki (Baragaki-hen)!!!
