Japan, 1864. The Tokugawa shogunate is locked in a bitter battle
with Choshu rebels who desire to overthrow the shogunate and
restore the emperor to power. The rebels' chief weapon is Yotoko
Mizuki, a seventeen-year-old assassin with the ominous nickname of
Battosai, or Man Killer. Masquerading for years as a boy, Mizuki
longs for a normal, peaceful life as a girl. When she abandons her
former life and mysteriously shows up in Kyoto, the killing begins
anew. But a chance encounter with three ronin lead her to an
unexpected match with the genius swordsman, Okita Souji, captain of
the first unit of the Shinsengumi. When Souji finds that his
greatest enemy is a woman, swords clash and sparks fly. Though
bested by her, Souji is unexpectedly attracted to Mizuki. Their
relationship grows closer by the day, and the two eventually
realize they are in love. But her former leader, Toshimaru Yoshida,
has other plans for the young woman. Determined to get her back at
any cost, Yoshida heads to Kyoto and a violent confrontation with
Mizuki and the Shinsengumi, pitting the two lovers against each
other in a dangerous game of lies and accusations. Can Souji
protect Mizuki from the demons of her past, or will she be lost to
him forever?
