While battered from the incident at Aburano Koji, the shinsengumi have not been broken. Though how much longer they can last becomes an open question when rumors of an imperial decree to utterly dismantle the shogunate begin to circulate.
A historical drama with occasional action scenes, minor comic relief elements, and a tertiary romance subplot. It’s a sequel to the earlier TV series, and having seen that first is necessary to recognize the flashbacks.
