Kaze Hikaru Volume 32

In the 1860s, a new era was emerging in Japan. It was a time of violent social upheaval, with samurai from all walks of life converging on Kyoto in the hopes of joining a band of warriors devoted to the shogunate system. This group would eventually become known as the Shinsengumi, one of the most significant and notorious movements in Japanese history.

Sei, a young girl determined to make her mark on history, disguises herself as a man and trains with the Shinsengumi. She navigates the turbulent times alongside her secret crush, Soji, as they witness the gradual disintegration of the once-mighty group. Saito, a former comrade, defects to the breakaway faction under the leadership of the cunning Councilor Ito, further destabilizing the already fragile situation.

Amidst the chaos, Sei and Soji find their feelings for each other deepening. However, their burgeoning romance faces a new obstacle when an escort from Kyoto confesses her own feelings for Soji. The love triangle adds a layer of complexity to an already tumultuous situation, as alliances shift and loyalties are tested.

As the Shinsengumi teeters on the brink of collapse, Sei must confront the harsh realities of war and betrayal. Her resolve is tested as she fights to protect her comrades and maintain her place in a world dominated by men. Will Sei and Soji's love be strong enough to withstand the challenges that lie ahead, or will it crumble under the weight of conflicting loyalties and competing desires? Only time will tell as the fate of the Shinsengumi hangs in the balance.
