Kettou! Shinsengumi

In the city of Kyoto at the end of the Edo period, the "Mibu Roshigumi," a group of samurai from Mito, was charged with maintaining public order amidst the conflict between the Kinno (royalist) and the Sabaku (shogunate) factions. When the Mito-born Serizawa Kamo and his subordinates behaved badly, Isamu Kondo and his followers from Bushu are ordered to kill Serizawa.

The Mibu Roshigumi, after killing Serizawa, was granted an official name by the Imperial Court, and the legendary "Shinsengumi" was born!

The lives of the men who devoted their lives to the bushido, as portrayed by the master mangaka, Takao Saito, depicted in the realistic jidaigeki style!
