Comic Information

▼ Synopsis ▼ Young Hijikata Toshizo, driven solely by the desire to grow stronger, repeatedly challenges dojos without direction. One day, he confronts Kondo Isami of the Shieikan Dojo, representing the Tennen Rishin-ryu school—and suffers defeat. Realizing his own weakness, Hijikata seeks strength by joining the Shieikan. This is the requiem that depicts the fierce bonds, unwavering beliefs, and brutal youth of the passionate men who would later become the 'Shinsengumi' and shake Kyoto during the final days of the shogunate!!
