Volume 2 - 1st Printing. Story, art, and cover by Nanae Chrono. The politics of haiku... The Shinsengumi might be a crack-team of samurai peacekeepers, but sometimes the peace is disturbed from within. When Vice-Commander Hijikata loses a personal collection of haiku, Captain Okita makes it his mission to play-keep away with his boss! Dark clouds dim this sunny episode, however, as another vice-commander - Yamanami - gradually distances himself from the rest of the Shinsengumi. This unspeakable act speaks volumes concerning the regulations of this cabal-like organization. Loyalty to the Shinsengumi reigns supreme and bond-breaking carries heavy handed justice! What exactly is Yamanami up to, and where will it lead him? The answer is certainly not for the squeamish! Meanwhile, self-involved Suzu plans his next treacherous move! Softcover, 192 pages, 5-in. x 7 1/2-in., B&W. Cover price $9.99.
