<Introduction
A time when Samurai ruled Japan: ......
The Shinsengumi, who were working to protect the security of Kyoto, were all but wiped out by the Zoumen-no-Oki.

--Seven criminals were chosen as replacements for the Shinsengumi.

Ichibanboshi, whose parents were also killed by the Zoumen-no-Oki, becomes a double for Isamu Kondo, the chief of the Shinsengumi, and pursues his revenge while becoming the center of the group of doubles.

The former sinners rise up in this crazy world-realization entertainment!

Now, it's time to shine brightest (Butchigire)!
