When Ryuunosuke lost his mother as she succumbed to illness, he wandered aimlessly without living support. On the way to the capital, he was attacked and robbed, leaving him with no food or money. When all that was left was just his starvation to death, he met Serizawa Kamo and was picked up by him. Although reluctantly, Ryuunosuke ended up traveling with him and for the time being, lived at the Shinsengumi quarters.
Though he held some prejudice due to his past, his encounter with the Shinsengumi brought about changes to his stubborn heart.
This is a story of a nameless youth, in a time of turmoil at the end of the Edo period.
