Kaze Hikaru #7
Kaze Hikaru, Vol. 7
Romance between "swordsmen," based on a true-life adventure of a young girl determined to be a part of history.
In the 1860s in Japan, a new era is dawning. During this time fraught with violent social upheaval, samurai of all walks of life flock to Kyoto in the hope of joining a band of warriors united around their undying loyalty to the shogunate system. This group becames one of the greatest (and most infamous) movements in Japanese history…the Shinsengumi!
Akesato the courtesan has been instrumental in hiding the fact that Sei is a girl by pretending to be "his" lover. But Yamanami, another member of the Shinsengumi, has fallen madly in love with Akesato. As he struggles with the conflict between his comrade Sei and the love he feels for Akesato, he stumbles onto Sei's secret.

Unbeknownst to Sei, Yamanami learns her secret when he falls in love with Akesato, the courtesan who has been covering for her by pretending to be her lover. Will this mean trouble for Sei or has she gained an ally? Later, the Shinsengumi face battle once again in the Kinmon rebellion, during which fire is set to Kyoto to disastrous consequences.
I got a little impatient with the first part of the volume, though ultimately with Yamanami learning about Sei's true indentity it actually ended up serving the development of the plot rather than just being more filler, but all in all I'm enjoying the series more and more.
