Kenta Ihara provides the series composition, Yuko Oba and Miyako Nishida provide the character designs and Yuki Hayashi provides the music. Crunchyroll currently streams the first season of Blue Miburo , and describes the story: The Black Ships arrive in Kyoto as the shogunate stumbles toward ruin. Living amidst the chaos is Nio, a kindhearted boy on the verge of discovering his destiny. He meets two “Miburo,” Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Soji, members of the band of Mibu ronin who will later become the famous Shinsengumi. With dreams of a better world, Nio joins their fight to defend the city. Source: Official X (formerly Twitter) account
