In the early summer of 1878, the assassination of Ōkubo Toshimichi triggers a dangerous plot, as the mastermind behind the scheme—Shishio Makoto Masanori Ikeda—plans to tear Kyoto apart. To counter this threat, Okina, the leader of the Kyoto Oniwabanshū, entrusts Makimachi Misao Tomo Sakurai, the orphaned daughter of his predecessor, with a critical mission: to locate Himura Kenshin, the former assassin once known as Hitokiri Battōsai, who played a shadowy role in the Meiji Restoration. The path ahead is perilous, and Misao’s resolve is tested as she threads along the Tōkaidō road, chasing a chance to avert catastrophe.
