A bloody tale of kimono and sword, spanning the present and the past... Members of the Shinsengumi, the warrior group protecting Kyoto, exchange their feats of arms to determine the strongest opponent they have ever faced. Sōji Okita, captain of the first division, is the first to speak! In his eyes, this title of most formidable enemy belongs to Kamo Serizawa, practitioner of the Shindō-Munen style. A clash of styles is about to unfold between these two unparalleled swordsmen, the first deadly duel in a series of others that will ultimately spell the end of the samurai. **Drawing on documents and testimonies from the Meiji period, Tadataka Hosokawa and Tatsuya Yamamura deliver a deeply immersive historical narrative that reflects the bloody reality of samurai clashes: through the purges and assassinations that marked the end of their era, the swordsmen nonetheless respected the honor and feats of arms of their adversaries.**

Ding-dong! "Hello, is this the residence of Tameaki Hibiya?" On my birthday, my birthday present is a beautiful girl-shaped smartphone "Extra," the latest model with ultra-high performance! After registering my new phone with the exciting "lip print authentication" process, we are now always together "because it's a smartphone". When I arrived at school as a new transfer student, she exchanged contacts with everyone in the class with a "Purupuru Dance" and became very popular, even if nobody noticed me. She won't show me the messages she receives (she only reads them out loud), and the alarm function is useless, but she has made new friends, and makes every day exciting.... A glamorous new boy-meets-girl romantic comedy brought to you by a smartphone in the shape of a beautiful girl! (Source: Fantasia Bunko, translated)
