Young orphan Nio is no stranger to the harsh realities of the world, and yet he can't help but cling to his burning ion for justice and desire to change the world for the better.
One day, he crosses paths with two men who will become central figures of the coming revolution: Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Souji, two of the founding of a group of hated ronin known as the Miburo—who would later become known as the Shinsengumi. Inspired by the efforts of the so-called "Blue Miburo," Nio decides to the ranks to help carve a path to the world he wishes to see.
