I also believe that the first half of Otogizoushi is set in the Heian period, and many people don't like it because of the tons of information, but you might want to check that one out.

Thanks everyone for all the advice.
Actually, my friend is not so much into modern japanese culture at all. I think, however, that I might have piqued his interest with my description of Lone Wolf and Cub. Now, I think I'll let that fester a bit, and then provide the manga.

Do you know where I might find scans of Vagabod? I cannot find it on Boxtorrents, and I don't know where else to look.
Thanks again.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
