Japan, mid‑19th century. The end of centuries‑long isolation, a period of storms and upheavals, the final years of the Tokugawa shogunate. The clash between Western experience and Eastern wisdom stirred minds and gave rise to new ideas – sometimes quite dangerous. Kodō Yūkimura, a renowned healer who had studied under Dutch specialists, experienced this to the fullest. After yet another invitation to the capital, Dr. Yūkimura vanished mysteriously. His daughter Tidzuru, unable to bear the uncertainty, disguised herself as a young samurai, took her family sword – the kodati – and set off for Kyoto in search of her father. On the very first night of city life, Tidzuru witnessed a brutal clash between two samurai factions. The victors captured her, and what an astonishment it was for the girl when she learned that she had fallen into the hands of the Shinshengu – impostor guardians of order in Kyoto, feared by both enemies and friends. Even more surprised was Tidzuru when she discovered that her father was not unknown to these new acquaintances, and they urgently needed him because Kodō‑sensei was involved in the mystery behind the formation of this strange squad. Now the heroine and her allies await the most thrilling adventures! Holya‑kun and VrotArt
