Kuroshoin no Rokubei, a two-volume set (Volumes 1 and 2). As the handover of Edo Castle approaches, Hayato Kakurai, a member of the Owari Tokugawa clan's foot soldiers, is sent as the impromptu vanguard commander of the government army to facilitate the castle's surrender. Accompanied by Yasumori Katsu, he sees a silent, unmoving Goshoin-banshi (a guard of the shogun's library) in the night watch room. If a conflict were to arise here, it could lead to war in Edo Castle. Saigo Takamori has ordered that they must not be dragged out by force, so what will Kakurai do? A wonderfully imaginative masterpiece is here. It depicts the friendship between a mysterious hatamoto (direct retainer of the shogun) and a low-ranking samurai.
