Overview
The story consists of 6 episodes that spin around the same events at the end of 1866 when Chizuru starts working in the Shimabara inn as a geisha to spy on the samurai that are plotting to attack the Shinsengumi headquarters and cause disruption in Kyoto. Each episode is dedicated to a specific character and shows their vision of the events along with additional circumstances that add to the depth of their personalities. Due to the focus being shifted to the male characters, Chizuru's role is minor compared to the main anime series.
