The Samurai's Scrolls: Beginnings by A.K. Tolentino

A student of the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi takes on his own apprentices to carry on Musashi's Way of the Sword. Together, the motley crew must face the twists and turns of their respective past and current lives—names dishonored, vengeance vowed, duties fulfilled, young love gained and lost—and confront a political upheaval that threatens to throw society into chaos.
