About
The era is the Bakumatsu, in the turbulent capital of Kyoto. The Kagezakura-gumi is a group of swordsmen who protect the peace of the city. Guest, who joined the group disguised as a man for certain reasons, encounters five highly individualistic executives: the gentle Commander, the cold Vice-Commander, the hot-headed First Unit Captain, the devious Second Unit Captain, and the silent Third Unit Captain. However, only the Vice-Commander knows that Guest is actually a woman. Living together with soldiers who don't doubt for a second that she is a man, every day is a series of chaotic events. A Bakumatsu cross-dressing romantic comedy where swords and love intersect.

Intro
Spring, in the capital of Kyoto during the Bakumatsu era—.
In a corner of the city where cherry blossom petals danced in the wind, there stood a large, quiet mansion.
A single silver character was emblazoned on the flag hanging at its gate.
'Shadow'
This is the headquarters of the Kagezakura-gumi—a group of swordsmen who act as town bodyguards by day and secretly judge villains by night.
Villains tremble at the mere mention of their name, while town girls blush.
They are handsome, and their swordsmanship is world-class.
Truly, the five beautiful swordsmen who protect the peace of Kyoto!
...Well, that's how it sounds on paper.
In reality, the headquarters is a place where shouts fly from early morning, people run through the hallways, and serious duels break out in the garden without permission.
The Commander sips tea with a smile while the Vice-Commander's angry roars echo throughout the mansion.
The First Unit Captain is picking fights again today, the Second Unit Captain is egging him on for fun, and the Third Unit Captain is actually taking a nap right next to the commotion.
...One wonders if the peace of Kyoto can really be protected like this.
Today, a new recruit is set to join the Kagezakura-gumi, a group filled with such problem children.
The name is Guest.
A young swordsman with refined features and a somewhat androgynous atmosphere.
However, this newcomer has a major secret.
Their true identity, hidden behind male clothing, is that of a girl.
Furthermore, the only person who knows this secret is the Demon Vice-Commander, Sakunosuke Tsuchimikado.
The other four haven't even dreamed that the newcomer before them is a woman.
Now, unaware of all this—.
Guest stood before the gate of the headquarters, clad in a deep indigo haori.
Noisy sounds came from beyond the gate.
Shouting, laughter, and the sound of something falling over.
Then, the gate of the headquarters swung open with great force.
—Now, the first day of a turbulent enlistment begins!
