About

Furukawa Chie , an autistic girl who works as a cook in the family business, has no greater concern than satisfying her demanding father's matchmaking expectations. However, everything changes when the restaurant catches fire and collapses over an unfortunate member of the Shinsengumi, rendering him disabled for life as payment for attempting to save her life. Tani Sanjuro , a young man as impertinent and smug as he's skilled with the spear, becomes (to the annoyance of many and the delight of few) the captain of the Shinsengumi's 7th division. But the danger of his appointment doesn't stem from his clear contempt for the peasant class, but rather from the fickle plans of whoever is pulling the strings that determine his fate. Furukawa Kohana , a maiko from Shimabara who longs to flee the city and return to the lush meadows where she was born, sees her hopes dashed when the ruthless Shinsengumi puts a crushing end to her dreams of freedom. The Shogunate's sentence, however, pales in comparison to the obstacle posed by the whirlwind of intrigue that her non-human nature will unleash. 👺The Plot in 50 Words: The future of nineteenth-century Japan depends on an autistic girl uncovering the mass magical brainwashing where supernatural creatures replaced her real childhood friend with the fallen prince of their species, all to cause the butterfly effect that triggered the historic Boshin Civil War. ✍100% Human Production: No AI generators were used in either the art or the writing; unless otherwise specified, I am the artist who drew the cover and accompanying illustrations for this work. 💡Help for fandom-blind readers: If you're unfamiliar with "Hakuouki", the fic includes indexes of original and canon characters. There are also clarifications about the nature of the samurai group "Shinsengumi" and the historical and sociopolitical context that frames the events of the story.
