The Blue Wolves of Mibu 5 (Blue Miburo)

In the action-packed fifth volume of "The Blue Wolves of Mibu," Nio, an orphan yearning for a better world, continues his journey with the men who are changing history with their swords. Set in the same world as "Rurouni Kenshin," this samurai series by Tsuyoshi Yasuda delves into the founding of the Shinsengumi, portraying the handsome and fierce warriors who fight for justice and their own ideals. This volume sees Nio's chance encounter with Kikuchiyo, also known as Shogun Tokugawa Iemochi, and a member of the Blood Risshidan, leading to a fateful night. As Nio and the young Shogun develop a mutual respect, the looming threats to Kyoto's peace highlight the Miburo's need for a uniform. The only challenge is finding a way to afford it.
