In an era of violent social upheaval, a young girl named Tominaga Sei, hoping to avenge her wrongfully murdered father and brother, disguises herself as a man, takes the name Kamiya Seizaburo, and joins the Mibu-Roshi--soon to be known as the Shinsengumi--an elite corps of swordsman who risk their lives to defend Japan's shogunate system. Will she be able to become a warrior and keep her secret intact?
FINALLY!!! it's been advertised as a historical ROMANCE. and here in volume 5 things are just starting to get interesting. I LIVE FOR THESE THINGS. Truth be told. the author is very gentle with the romance part, maybe that is a reflection of the youth and purity of kamiya's heart. It's nice to see nice guys fall in love with a nice girl in a way in which you root for them both. not like in hot gimmick where the girl is misguided and all the men involved are swarmy and you find yourself choosing based on whose intentions aren't as questionable. Jealously and confusion abound in this volume and it's exciting to read. Again the bonus section is even more interesting than the last one. This time you get a history on some Edo period differences that i'm guessing you've never known about before. eitherway.... as far as love is concerned this volume delivers the goods and leaves chomping at the bit for her to elaborate more!!
