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.**

From [MangaHelpers](https://www.mangaupdates.com/groups.html?id=1011): Honjou Wataru is a stuntman, who is able to perform action shots that others can't. Most of his performing is done in suits (e.g. the kind the power rangers wear). This kind of hidden role also means that while his stunts are recorded, his face won't make it to the film. Wataru is good at his job, but he wants to be a hero. [tethysdust]
