The Blue Wolves of Mibu 9 (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!

In the aftermath of the battle against the Blood Risshidan, the experience weighs heavily on the Roshigumi, and perhaps no one has taken it harder than Nio. Fortunately, he'll have plenty of support from his companions--and on top of that, a trip to Osaka for a change of pace. But even outside of their duties in Kyoto, the Roshigumi are a group of rough and tumble men, and there is always a darkness within them that threatens to spill forth...
