   In 1912, a young woman tracks down the elderly Nagakura Shinpachi,   
   determined to hear the true story of the Demon of the Shinsengumi, the   
   Vice Commander Hijikata Toshizou. Hijikata’s story begins in 1859, when   
   he is a violent young man honing his sword skills while peddling his   
   family’s medicine. Soon, in his quest to find stronger people to fight,   
   Hijikata starts to come into contact with others who will eventually be   
   his comrades in the Shinsengumi. The first one to make an impression on   
   the brash young man is Kondo Isami, who proves to be a better fighter   
   than Hijikata...   
      
   	This is very good work about Hijikata, and the founding of   
   the Shinsengummi.  It explains how Kondo lost the chance of becoming   
   a military instructor for the Shogunate and a lot of other things.   
   I hope it goes to the full length.   
   	   
   	Only a few chapters presently up online.  I hope it gets   
   to the North American stands in English traslation though the   
   Fansubbers are doing a good job.
