The Blue Wolves of Mibu
The Blue Wolves of Mibu (Japanese: 青のミブロ, Hepburn: Ao no Miburo) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tsuyoshi Yasuda. It has been serialized in Kodansha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Magazine since October 2021; its first part finished in April 2024 and the second part, Shinsengumi Arc, started in the same month.
An anime television series adaptation produced by Maho Film, marketed in English under the title Blue Miburo, aired from October 2024 to March 2025. A second season is set to premiere in December 2025.
The story starts in 1863, in Kyoto. Chirinu Nio is a docile and kind boy, devoted to his family, but deep down inside he burns with a fervent desire for justice. His turbulent "blue spring" (a Japanese idiom referring to one's adolescence) begins when he meets Hijikata Toshizō and Okita Sōji of the Miburo, a group of hated rōnin. Moved by his pure and sincere wish to change the world, Nio joins the Miburo—abbreviation of Mibu Rōshigumi (壬生浪士組)—one of the most dangerous group of swordsmen, which eventually would become the Shinsengumi.
