It has been adapted into an anime television series by AIC and was broadcast in Japan on TBS between January 8, 2009, and March 26, 2009.

The current assistant head of the Ukiha Divine Wind Style Swordplay school of martial arts in the city, Ibuki Ikaruga, and her siblings gradually accept Yoichi as a freeloader at their dojo.

[4][5] The manga is licensed in Taiwan by Sharp Point Press and in France by Kazé as High School Samurai: Asu no Yoichi!.

[10][11] On February 26, 2010, Section23 Films announced that Sentai Filmworks had licensed the series for home video in North America and it was later released on DVD, on May 11, 2010.

[11] It had two hosts — Nobuhiko Okamoto and Rina Satō who played the voices of Yoichi Karasuma and Ibuki Irukaga respectively in the anime series.

[19] The fourth and final CD, character song for Kagome Ikaruga, is sung by Kana Hanazawa.

[26] Pop Culture Shock's Ken Haley criticises the manga's art as "bland" but concedes the point that "it does a good job at depicting scantily clad underage girls in compromising positions.

[29] Jones compares Yoichi's love rival, Ryo Washizu, as "a mishmash of Kuno and Ryoga from Ranma ½".

"[29] Jones criticises the art with "often drab, uncreative scenery, and the animation is only adequate save for a few fight sequences".

[29] He also comments that "the character designs are cute, but the Ikaruga sisters' hair and outfits (save Ayame's) look ridiculous.

"[29] He also criticises the background music as "entirely forgettable", and the "opening & closing songs won't be staying in your head anytime soon".
