Shinsen Gumi Bakufu Wo Mamoro to Shita Otoko Tachi (Kodansha Aoi Tori Bunko)

[Machine Translation] In 1863, the Shogunate recruited roshi (ronin) to protect the Shogun and maintain security in Kyoto. Isamu Kondo, accompanied by Toshizo Hijikata, Soji Okita, and others who had gathered at the Tanteikan dojo in Edo, went to Kyoto and formed the Shinsengumi under the leadership of Matsudaira Yoho, the Kyoto governor. Eventually, he became a vassal of the shogunate, a long-cherished wish, but the era was moving toward the overthrow of the shogunate. The Shinsengumi fought in the Boshin War as part of the old shogunate army, and their comrades were scattered. This film depicts their life-threatening adolescence as they dreamed of a life as samurai. From upper elementary school and junior high school.
