   HYOUGE MONO Manga   
   Hyouge Mono (Japanese: ã�¸ã�†ã�’ã‚‚ã�® Hepburn: HyÅ   
   ge Mono?, lit. "Jocular   
   Fellow") is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Yoshihiro   
   Yamada. It won an Excellence prize for manga at the 13th Japan Media   
   Arts Festival[2] and the Grand Prize at the 2010 Tezuka Osamu Cultural   
   Prize. It was adapted into an anime series in 2011. The official website   
   was updated to reflect the change.[3] For unstated reasons Yoshihiro   
   Yamada and the editors of Morning quit consulting for the anime series   
   and Yamada had the credit changed from "original story" to "original   
   concept".[4]   
      
   bliss notes:   
   	Only 6 chapters of the manga have been translated and posted   
   online.  It concerns a samurai of Oda Nobunaga who is is love with   
   beautiful artifacts.  Very like an otaku.  He moves around learning   
   tea ceremony and hoping to view some beautiful tea utensils, sometimes   
   he manages to do this and sometimes he is disappointed.  But he hangs   
   around with the Hideyoshi to be, Hashiba, Akechi Mitsuhide and other   
   notables including his eccentric lord, Oda Nobunaga.   
   	I read the 5th and 6th chapters tonight and was reminded of   
   the excellence of this manga so posted here when my search could find   
   no reference in rec.arts.manga.   
   	i think I can guess at the motivation for the author's   
   change in the credits.
