Hakuoki ~Demon of the Fleeting Blossom~ Dawn of the Shinsengumi

Finished

薄桜鬼: 黎明録

In 1863, amidst the political turmoil of Japan's Bakumatsu period, the Tokugawa Shogunate dispatches the Roshigumi, a force of masterless samurai, to aid the Aizu faction in Kyoto. However, the group is fractured from the start, split between the brutal leadership of Serizawa Kamo and the more honorable but less assertive Isami Kondo.

Ryunosuke Ibuki, a young man robbed of everything and left for dead, is forced into servitude by Serizawa to repay a blood debt. Consumed by hatred for the samurai and their ways, he becomes little more than a dog to one of Kyoto's most powerful men. Yet, as he is dragged into the conflicts of the Roshigumi, his interactions with Kondo's faction begin to challenge his deepest prejudices.

Caught between the violent machinations of Serizawa and the emerging ideals of Kondo's men, Ibuki finds himself at the heart of the struggle that will shape the future of the Roshigumi and the fate of a nation on the brink of revolution.
