Description:

Shoretsu Shinsengumi Bakumatsu No Doran - The stormy tale of the Shinsengumi is told from the beginning based on the original story by Shirai Kyoji.

From its earliest beginnings the Shinsengumi have had to face difficulties both from within and without. Commander Serizawa Kamo's corrupt practices even threatened the group's very existence.

As they try to recover from the bad reputation he left for them the fighting between the Royalists and Shogunate supporters reaches an all-time high during the Gion Festival.

Their redemption comes when they learn that Katsura Kogoro is gathering men at the Ikedeya Inn in a plot to burn Kyoto to the ground and kidnap the Emperor. Along with Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Soji, Kondo leads the group in an attempt to save Japan from the rebels.
