SDK is a rocky start - Kamijyo doesn't hit her stride for the first couple of volumes. It's a rather heady mix of massive overkill shounen manga swordfights and extreme angst, mostly in the character background flashbacks. Heavy politics and weird science (Dr. Nii would be right at home in Hishigi's lab) show up in the Mibu arc, which takes up the final two thirds of the series.
For you, I ought to have pix of these guys! You've already read about Kosuke's resemblance to Yukimura, so this picture isn't too much of a spoiler (from vol. 5). There are some spoilers in this picture too ... but it shows Saizo defending Yukimura in vol. 4 (the translation on this page is really bad, though ... Saizo's the one wearing the cap). And you should know Yukimura from my default icon ... .
