On a snowy January night, a wounded samurai arrived at the Osaka Nanbu Clan warehouse. It was Kanichiro Yoshimura, who had defected from the Nanbu Clan due to poverty and joined the Shinsengumi, known as the Mibu Ronin. Feared as "Hitokiri Kanichi" (Kanichi the Manslayer), and scorned as a miser for sending money to his family, he was a man who gave rice balls to the hungry. "I kill people because I don't want to die." This is the story of Kanichiro Yoshimura, the only commoner in the Shinsengumi who never lost his heart. This is Jiro Asada's version of the Shinsengumi, his first historical novel and a landmark of Asada's literature. Awarded the 13th Shibata Renzaburo Prize in 2000. Commentary by Mitsuhiko Kuze. Adapted into a drama starring Ken Watanabe in January 2002. Made into a movie starring Kiichi Nakai in early 2003. Won the 27th Japan Academy Film Prize for Best Picture and Best Actor, among others. ★Two-volume set of paperback books. Published from 2002 to 2007. The covers have some wear and tear.
