The Blue Wolves of Mibu (Blue Miburo)

Nio is an orphan boy who dreams of a better world. In this action-packed manga he meets two men who show him just how much a few swords can change history. The gripping samurai series from the acclaimed creator of Days shares its setting with Rurouni Kenshin and tells of the founding of the Shinsengumi by attractive and unpredictable men who fight for justice – and for themselves.

After the battle against the Blood Risshidan, the experience weighs heavily on the Roshigumi, and perhaps no one is hit harder than Nio. Luckily, he gets support from his comrades – and a trip to Osaka for a change of scene as a bonus. But even outside their duties in Kyoto, the Roshigumi remain a rough crew, in which a darkness always lurks, ready to break out.
