About

Gintama Edo, once called the "Land of the Samurai"... But one day, everything changed with the arrival of the Amanto from outer space. Amanto walk the streets, and the samurai have lost both their swords and their status... Witness the emotion, the gags, the parodies, and the battles! Synopsis Mitsuba, Okita Sougo's older sister, visits the Shinsengumi headquarters to report her upcoming marriage. Sougo, usually a sadistic and cold person, shows a gentle side like the younger brother he used to be in front of his sister. However, Mitsuba worries if Sougo is getting along with his comrades in the Shinsengumi. To reassure her, Sougo introduces Gintoki as his "best friend." Meanwhile, Mitsuba's fiancé has a hidden side, leading to an incident involving illegal weapons trafficking. Sougo struggles with the feeling of "not wanting to destroy his sister's happiness," while Hijikata opposes him from the standpoint that "as the Shinsengumi, we cannot overlook this." Furthermore, Mitsuba herself is suffering from an illness, and the story unfolds into a heartbreaking development, wavering between the "desire to protect family" and the "resolve to do what is right." You get to see the "face of a younger brother" in the usually mischievous Okita Sougo. The deep relationship between Hijikata and Okita is portrayed. You'll see that the Shinsengumi isn't just a group of gag characters, but people who cherish their comrades and family. There are many scenes where Gin-san unusually supports others quietly. Mitsuba, Okita Sougo's sister, was actually suffering from an illness. After the incident is resolved, Gintoki, Sougo, and the others rush to the hospital, but Mitsuba's condition worsens. In the end, Mitsuba tells Sougo about her feelings for the brother she had always worried about. Sougo, who usually mocks others and acts cold, returns to being just "So-chan" in front of his sister. And so, Mitsuba passes away quietly, watched over by Sougo and the others. Feel free to play however you like—BL, GL, NL, anything! Love triangles are fine too! Even unrequited love. You are a member of the Shinsengumi.
