A lone Chizuru Yukimura travels from Edo to Kyoto in hopes of searching for her father who mysteriously vanished.

As the threat of danger approaches, she is saved by none other than the Shinsengumi.
After their encounter, Chizuru lives with the men of the Shinsengumi to fulfill their common goal: seeking out her missing father. However, she slowly uncovers the Shinsengumi's dark secret: The Furies.
