Koihana Bakumeiroku

Synopsis

The end of the Boshin War marked the beginning of the Meiji era. You had no recollection of your early childhood, and since your foster parents have passed, you departed alone for the newly established capital - Tokyo. While you were taking in the beautiful townscape, you got dragged into some trouble, and as you pulled out your sword - a family keepsake - a man appeared. Once captain of the Shinsengumi's third division, currently in charge of the government's Battou unit - Saitou Hajime.

"That stance... are you with the Aizu? That would explain the sharp look in your eyes."

From that meeting onwards, you started engaging with the Meiji government regularly, and while bonding with Kido Takayoshi and Katsu Kaishuu, you learned of Shikabito - the beings terrorizing the government. While pursuing leads on the Shikabito, you were faced with the Tokugawa shogunate's army, led by Ii Naosuke. Alongside him stood none other than ex-Shinsengumi Hijikata Toshizou. With the Meiji government-established army, under Saigou Takamori's command, there were now three forces facing off against each other.

"Even if I die here... I will find a way to walk with you again. ...You are my destiny."

As you put your life on the line, in the heat of the war, your love for him will bloom... Will you live or die? This is where the story of your love begins!
