Before They Became the Shinsengumi: Roshigumi
translated by Hirotada TOkugawa
http://www.shinsengumihq.com/roshigumi.htm
on the page is a link to Serizawa Kamo's page which provides
a really good narrative on how the Shinsengumi emerged from this
group
-----------------------------------
Blood and Makoto:
The Story of the Shinsengumi Told in Three Volumes
(WORK IN PROGRESS)

is a proposal/outline/model for anyone "out there" whether they be
fans, writers, researchers and academics who visit the site

* basically the goal is to address the historical and pop-cultural
impact of our Miburo in a logical multi-facted way. "Blood and Makoto"
a fantasy project will approach the Shinsengumi in detail and in a
very *calm and *cool fashion--the aim should be information [not]
propaganda.

*Hillsborough's Shinsengumi book is ok with info but because it didn't
occur to him how important his work would be to any reader and
especially us fans who waited forever to get our hands on it, his tone
was inappropriate---"Blood and Makoto" is an attempt to EXPAND on his
work and build a respectable knowledge base for all future fans.

* the outline will have dimensions previously unexplored like "THE
TAMA NETWORK" because I myself have placed great emphasis on the post
1868 Aizu network (which was relevant specifically to Saitou Hajime or
FUJITA GORO) when in fact the TAMA NETWORK (including the sworn
brother of Kondou Isami), relatives on the side of Hijikata's family
and many gono or wealthy farmers not only provided financial support
but even tried to contribute MANPOWER (nohei) to the dispersing and
reorganizing Shinsengumi after the battle of Toba & Fushima

The reason why the TAMA NETWORK has not been discussed is because it
is much more difficult to resaerch in English than the Aizu Network.

Only William M. Steele's work (noted right on the outline) explores
the mighty TAMA NETWORK. I have notes on these families now I gotta
find them...

* WE NEED YOUR HELP---this "model" is by fans [for] fans. What would
you like to know about the Shinsengumi? Let us know so we can list it
on the outline. What ANGLE or APPROACH would you like to see in
Shinsengumi research?

*Updated
http://www.shinsengumihq.com/misc_facts.htm
now with "The Doctor is In: Matsumoto Ryojun" by Hirotada Tokugawa

Dr. Matsumoto is connected to Kondou Isami, Saitou Hajime (who sought
the physician when he was injured), and in the Meiji interacted with
Saitou and Nagakura. He is also mentioned on
"The Afflicted Swordsman: Tuberculosis and Okita Soujiro"
http://www.shinsengumihq.com/TBandOkita.htm

http://www.shinsengumihq.com/misc_facts.htm
and enhanced "Shinsengumi and Aizu Pages"
does anyone who owns the Peacemaker manga knows if Nanae Kurono
mentioned the historical date of when Ichimura Tetsu officially became
Hijikata's page? Please also tell us if it is the lunar or gregorian
date.

*Updated by Hirotada Tokugawa
http://www.shinsengumihq.com/katamorifacts1.htm

*Also if you have come across books, articles which has information
which conflicts with the information on the website (much of which is
drawn from texts in Eng or Japanese) then please contact the website
and be sure to note your book or article.

We ~welcome~ conflicting information and prefer to put historical
dicrepencies side by side in an effort to be comprehensive. Comments,
corrects and suggestions are perceived to be [positive] in this
learning process.

~In the first volume of PeacMaker Imon, the story starts off in March of 1864 (don't know what calender is being used). In Chrono's world Tatsunosuke had already been hired as an accountant when Tetsu became Hijikata's page.

Hello everyone, I think this is my first post, but I thought you guys would be intrested in this. On animesuki.com they have an anime based on Hijikata, I haven't seen it yet, but I guess it was made in 2004.

Here is the torrent:
