Ryoma ga Yuku

An epic chronicle of Sakamoto Ryoma, a pre-revolutionary figure who helped shape the face of modern Japan. To study swordsmanship, Ryoma travels to Edo, where he encounters a spectrum of individuals who influence his thinking. He forms close alliances with Katsu Kaishu and Saigo Takamori, and later establishes a naval training school in Kobe. Ryoma’s controversial political views draw the attention of shogunate assassins, but his fervent belief in a classless society helps forge the Choshu-Satsuma alliance, which ultimately brings about the Meiji Restoration.
