The story takes place in 1863, when a violent rebellion breaks out due to political differences and causes unrest in Japan. The Tokugawa Shogunate forms a group of leaderless samurai to aid the Aizu forces in Kyoto. However, the situation is not very clear for the new police force as it is divided into two opposing factions. The more powerful faction is led by Kamo Serizawa and the smaller faction by Kondo Isami, a nobleman. Ryunosuke Ibuki is a young man who despises samurai but is forced to serve under Serizawa due to a blood debt.
