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.

The Longest Way Around Is the Shortest Way

Things I've Learned While Living with Gin (by Kagura)

1. Buildings get destroyed because they are in
the way.
2. If you're going to stalk someone, watch out
for pit-traps!
3. People who say Santa doesn't really exist
actually want to believe in him.
4. Some people (Shinpachi) are always the butt of the joke.
5. No matter what Gin says, ice cream is a great prize for winning a snowball fight, uh-huh!
