Original Work Introduction
Synopsis
"I also want to become strong, I want to change this world."
1863, Kyoto. The fate of a kind-hearted boy begins to move upon meeting Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Soji.
What drives the boy is,
an "anger" against the unreasonable hidden within his heart and a pure, honest "wish" to "change the world."
Joining the fiercest swordsman group, the "Miburoshigumi," commonly known as the "Miburo," with these feelings, the boy is sometimes wounded by his own powerlessness, sometimes trembles at cruel truths, and runs through the turbulent blue spring!
