In 2022, the new manga “Ao no Miburo” is garnering attention.
This work ranked 19th in the best-selling first volumes during the first quarter of the year, captivating the hearts of people.

The story is set in Kyoto during the end of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1863.
The protagonist, Nio, is a straightforward and family-oriented young boy. However, deep down, the flame of justice burns within him.

The most appealing aspect of 'Ao no Miburo' lies in its diverse and captivating characters.
The protagonist, Nio, is intelligent, and each of the other characters shines in their own unique way. In particular, the characters of Mr. Kamo and Mr. Yamanami are fresh and captivating.
Additionally, the action scenes are filled with tension and are incredibly intense, showcasing the exceptional artistry as well.

The story is full of scenes that you'll want to see spread out across two pages, sprinkled with little moments of humor. This chaotic atmosphere might be a point of contention among readers, but personally, I absolutely love how fun and easy it is to read.

I've read many manga that feature the Shinsengumi as the subject, but 'Ao no Miburo' is a particular favorite of mine. The cuteness of Nio, the coolness of Hajime-kun, and the allure of Mr. Hijikata and others—all of these elements make this manga a masterpiece.
Although stories about the Shinsengumi often have sad endings, this work captivates me with the warmth and depth of thought given to friendships.

If you're a fan of the Shinsengumi or love passionate coming-of-age stories, I highly recommend giving 'Ao no Miburo' a try. You'll surely be captivated by its allure. Thank you for reading!
