is the story
of three
daughters of
the
Shinsengumi
who decide
to follow in

Synopsis:
Yuuko Kondou,
Toshie
Hijikata,
and Kaoru
Okita are
the
daughters of
the
legendary
and
honorable
Mobile
Shinsengumi
team. They
have been
passed the
torch to
carry on in
the noble
tradition of
their
samurai
fathers.
Their task
is to defend
Kyoto from a
hoard of
outlawed and
unlicensed
beasts! But
along with
crazy
monster cat
Nekomaru,
wacky
inventor
Gennai, and
silly-boy
Ryuunosuke,
these
danger-prone
damsels stir
up more
trouble than
they can
shake their
swords at
when madcap
match-matching
and
money-woes
trump any
danger the
monsters can
conjure!
Prepare for
a zany ride
as the
Mobile
Shinsengumi
usher in a
new era of
magical
mayhem! With
heroes like
these, who
