Synopsis

What does it mean to be a samurai?

Japan is in turmoil; violent civil clashes and murder are running rife and order needs to be established. By decree of the Tokugawa Shogunate the Roshigumi are dispatched to create stability but how much order can they create when they themselves are in turmoil?

At the center stands Ryunosuke Ibuki, son of a samurai, who has incurred a blood debt to Serizawa, leader to the Roshigumi. Now forced to be a slave, Ryunosuke is a part of a system he hates. However there just might be hope with Isami Kondo and his rag tag group of misfits; honour to the samurai name might just be restored.

This is the beginning of it all, of how Isami Kondo was able to set up the Shinsengumi before its downfall.
