Song of the Samurai (Chiruran: Shinsengumi Requiem)
Ⓒ橋本エイジ・梅村真也/コアミックス ⒸTHE SEVEN
Driven solely by his desire to become the “strongest,” the hot-blooded Hijikata meets Isami Kondo and joins forces with strong-willed comrades such as Soji Okita and Hajime Saito, ultimately forging the legendary Shinsengumi that would make its mark in history. Their short but blazing lives — filled with purpose, conviction, friendship, and betrayal — are brought to audience through strikingly modern and alluring character designs and some of the fastest sword-fighting choreography ever seen in Japanese drama. This adaptation promises to create a new Shinsengumi legend unlike anything before.
