Chiruran: Shinsengumi Chinkonka is a historical samurai manga written by Shinya Tokuma and illustrated by Eiji Hashimoto, and this week’s release of volume 16 is bringing a big announcement along for the ride.

The series is currently planned for a winter 2017 broadcast debut.

Hijikata’s story begins in 1859, when he is a violent young man that is honing his sword skills while peddling his family’s medicine.

The first one to make an impression on the brash young man is Kondo Isami, who proves to be a better fighter than Hijikata…
