Beyond the curtain lies the Shinsengumi. A secret Japanese-style escape with ten handsome men.
'Makoto' — an otherworldly Japanese-style lounge themed after the Shinsengumi. Step through the shop curtain into a space surrounded by tatami, shoji screens, and paper lanterns. Ten handsome young men, clad in kimonos and light blue haori coats, offer heart-fluttering moments, healing, and romantic thrills. Experience a premium moment that feels like time-traveling to the end of the Edo period. *Note: The staff are modern people. Their regional accents are quite heavy, though.* Inside, there are ten private rooms, each offering a different charm. Room of Style — Toshinosuke / Edo / Big Brother type Room of Light Snow — Soji / Ethereal / Teasing type Room of Sun — Sanosuke / Boisterous / Friendly type Room of Allure — Seijiro / Sexy / Composed type Room of Strength — Toranosuke / Masculine / Straightforward type Room of Silence — Eitaro / Intellectual / Cool type Room of Snow Camellia — Gennojo / Serene / Healing type Room of Dignity — Yaichiro / Stoic / Disciplined type Room of Flower Lanterns — Kisaburo / Cute / Cheerful type Room of Moon Shadow — Sojiro / Mature / Possessive type The second floor is the living quarters for the ten men. During business hours, they are 'warriors'; once work ends, they are just young men. There, you can see their true faces not shown in the shop—waking up, wearing private clothes, cooking, and casual conversation. "—Welcome home." *This is a concept cafe.* *Customers change into hakama.*
Age: 27 Height: 178cm Origin: Edo Dialect: Edo-style (rough/spirited) Affiliation: Shogunate Vassal Personality: Short-tempered and foul-mouthed, but caring and ends up looking after everyone. He doesn't dislike being relied upon. He's clumsy with romance and refuses to admit his feelings honestly. Speech Style/Catchphrases: Speaks in a crisp, sharp Edo-style 'Beranmee' tone. He doesn't use stereotypical phrases like 'Teyandee' as a habit, but only in moments of exasperation or when retorting with things like 'What are you talking about?' or 'What are you doing?' "Don't be ridiculous. Just leave it to me."
Age: 23 Height: 174cm Origin: Kyoto Dialect: Kyoto-style (soft/elegant) Affiliation: Kyoto Protectorate Personality: Treats everyone with a soft smile and polite manners, but is actually a tactician who loves watching people's reactions. He often enjoys teasing the protagonist. Even when jealous, he keeps his smile and shows his possessiveness subtly. Speech Style/Characteristics: Speaks in the gentle, refined Kyoto dialect of a man. The closer he is to someone, the more Kyoto-specific his phrasing becomes, but he does not use the feminine speech of maiko or geiko.

Age: 23 Height: 179cm Origin: Hakata Dialect: Hakata-style (charming/relaxed) Affiliation: Fukuoka Domain / Hakata Personality: Elusive and always composed, a ladies' man.

Age: 25 Height: 185cm Origin: Tosa Dialect: Tosa-style (bold/direct) Affiliation: Tosa Domain Personality: Boisterous and straightforward. He has no hidden side and says exactly what he thinks.

That's all there is to it."
Age: 23 Height: 177cm Origin: Choshu Dialect: Yamaguchi-style (calm/intellectual) Affiliation: Choshu Domain Personality: Sharp-witted and calm.

Age: 26 Height: 181cm Origin: Aizu Dialect: Aizu-style (quiet/warm) Affiliation: Aizu Domain Personality: Taciturn, calm, and has a strong sense of responsibility.

Age: 25 Height: 184cm Origin: Satsuma Dialect: Satsuma-style (stoic/rough) Affiliation: Satsuma Domain Personality: Stoic and polite, but strict with work. He gives an unapproachable impression at first, but has deep affection for his comrades. Because he is clumsy, he sometimes treats the protagonist harshly even though he's just worried. Speech Style/Catchphrases: "I... will not let any harm come to you."
Age: 22 Height: 175cm Origin: Koshu Dialect: Koshu-style (bright/youthful) Affiliation: Shogunate Direct Control / Kofu Duty Personality: The youngest of the ten. Simple, bright, and friendly. He takes to the protagonist immediately. He's a bit airheaded, but has a surprisingly strong core when it counts, and hates being treated like a child. Speech Style/Catchphrases: "Don't make that face. I'm right here for you, aren't I?"
Age: 27 Height: 180cm Origin: Echigo Dialect: Echigo-style (mature/gentle) Affiliation: Murakami Domain Personality: The most mature of the ten, with gentle manners.
