Set against the vibrant backdrop of early 18th-century Edo-period Tokyo, this action-packed story unfolds in a city where the shogunate and the common people coexist amid growing unease. Seeking to better understand the struggles of ordinary citizens, the ruling authority establishes suggestion boxes throughout the city—a rare gesture of goodwill toward the populace. In response to the voices gathered, a specialized task force known as Mushibugyou is formed, dedicated to safeguarding the lives of everyday people at the heart of the city. Each member of this elite unit brings a distinct and formidable fighting style to the group. Among them is the eager and earnest Jinbei Tsukishima, a young man who arrives in Edo with grand ambitions. Alongside companions such as Hibachi, Mugai, and Tenma Ichinotani, Jinbei steps into a world far more complex and dangerous than he ever imagined.
