Blue Miburo’s official Instagram and TikTok launched a “Concept Movie” that summarizes the setting, themes, and characters behind this historical anime. Set for a full release this fall, Blue Miburo offers a fresh take on the iconic Shinsengumi for modern audiences. It also provides a character driven exploration of the end of Japan’s famed Edo period.
On July 4th, “The Blue Miburo World Premiere presented by ytv animation” panel is set to take place in Room 403AB at the Los Angeles Convention Center during Anime Expo. Attendees can expect to watch an early look at this latest historical anime. Not only that, but there will also be rare insight into the production process from attending staff and giveaways related to the Shinsengumi that inspire this series! Join the series Director, Kumiko Habara, and Animation Producer Hiroya Nakata as they discuss this stunning new series.
The Blue Miburo (Also known as The Blue Wolves of Mibu) is the latest manga from Tsuyoshi Yasuda. The story follows Young orphan Nio in 1863 Japan. It is the twilight of the shogunate, and Japan is on the cusp of monumental change. The streets of the nation’s capital are soaked in blood as political upheaval and rising tensions between masterless, wandering ronin and government samurai set the stage for one of the most turbulent times in Japan’s history. Among all of this, Nio has a burning passion for justice and a desire to change the world for the better.
One day, he crosses paths with two men who will become central figures of the coming revolution: Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Souji. These men are two of the founding members of a group of hated ronin known as the Miburo—who would later become known as the Shinsengumi. Inspired by the efforts of the “Blue Miburo,” Nio decides to join the ranks. He believes this will help carve a path to the world he wishes to see. But with new betrayals and reversals every day, will Nio be able to stay true to his conscience?
Volumes 1 and 2 of The Blue Wolves of Mibu are available now! Volume 3 will premiere on August 27, 2024.
