inner_v0iceI created this squee/rec/picspam thing for halfamoon over on LJ last February, but I thought this comm might appreciate it as well! There don't seem to have been any anime/manga fandoms posted about so far, so I thought I might as well start. :)
Kaze Hikaru is a historical shoujo manga set during the time of the Meiji Revolution in the 1860s. Tominaga Sei is the story’s crossdressing heroine. She shaves the top of her head in a boy's hairstyle, takes on the name "Kamiya Seizaburo," and joins the Shinsengumi (a shogunate police force) in order to avenge her family’s death at the hands of anti-shogunate rebels. After her family’s murderer is killed, she stays with the Shinsengumi because she has learned a samurai’s love for comrades and ideals, and a young woman’s love for one particular comrade, Okita Souji.
( 'A flower-like demon! Kamiya Seizaburo, a.k.a. Tominaga Sei, 16 years old. This flower who blossomed at the Ikedaya Affair...was too young to even realize she was a flower.' )
