The Blue Wolves of Mibu 5 (Blue Miburo)

Nio is an orphan who can't help dreaming of a better world. In this action-packed manga, he meets two men who show him how much a few swords can change history. This riveting samurai series from the acclaimed creator of Days shares its setting with Rurouni Kenshin and chronicles the founding of the Shinsengumi by handsome and volatile men fighting for justice...and for themselves!

A chance meeting with Kikuchiyo, better known as Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi, and a bloodthirsty member of the mysterious and dangerous cabal known as the Blood Risshidan leads to a long and frenetic night. When all is said and done, Nio and the young Shogun find much to respect about one another. Meanwhile, the dangerous forces threatening the peace of Kyoto highlight the Miburo's need for a visible uniform. The only question is how they're going to afford such an upgrade...Born on June 9, 1980, Tsuyoshi Yasuda is best known for his soccer sports manga DAYS (published digitally by Kodansha), which was awarded best shonen manga in the 40th Kodansha Manga Awards in 2016.
