(W) Nanae Chrono (A/CA) Nanae Chrono
Tetsunosuke and Tatsunosuke are two sons of a murdered diplomat, who sought to bring peace and prosperity to the newly opened Japan during the early Meiji Restoration ( 1863). Tatsu is hired as an accountant for the Shinsengumi, the unofficial police and guardians of the Emperor in Kyoto, and, lured by the prospect of becoming a powerful warrior, Tetsu seeks to actually join their ranks. He succeeds, and is taken on as a page, meeting the odd assortment of characters in the organization (most of whom are historical)... but is getting revenge for his slain parents worth the price of sacrificing his own humanity?
