Ayumu's death at the hands of the Choushuu rebels lights a fire in the hearts of the Shinsengumi. In an act of retaliation, the Shinsengumi storm the rebel's hideout but the ringleaders get away. Meanwhile the real culprit, Yoshida, has cornered our hero Tetsu in a nightmarish reenactment of his parents' murderers.
An excellent manga, once again. Perfect rising action and I loved all the character development with Suzu, Susumu, Tetsu, and Toshi. Bring it on!
-2018 Reading- Another enjoyable read from beginning to end. I enjoyed the development of Susumu's feelings and friendship with Tetsu. I loved the revenge plot, Tetsu's relapse, and ultimately, the cliffhanger. Can't wait to finish this series and read the sequel.
