The Shinsengumi might be a crack-team of samurai peacekeepers, but sometimes the peace is disturbed from within. When Vice-Commander Hijikata loses a personal collection of haiku, Captain Okita makes it his mission to play-keep away with his boss! Dark clouds dim this sunny episode, however, as another vice-commander - Yamanami - gradually distances himself from the rest of the Shinsengumi. This unspeakable act speaks volumes concerning the regulations of this cabal-like organization. Loyalty to the Shinsengumi reigns supreme and bond-breaking carries heavy handed justice! What exactly is Yamanami up to, and where will it lead him? The answer is certainly not for the squeamish! Meanwhile, self-involved Suzu plans his next treacherous move. The swords of the Shinsengumi will clash against unwise political maneuverings in Peacemaker Kurogane Volume 2.

Summary: Peacemaker Kurogane Vol. 2
Comment: Volume 2 far surpasses the first. It collaborates fiction and history in a brilliant execution.
In this volume, we see a some of history of Yamanami and Hijikata, learn a bit of a new character's devious intentions, and recieve an amusing chapter dealing with haiku.
The artwork is beautiful. It is detailed and enjoyable to look at.
Akesato really shines here. Much more of her personality is revealed. The ending of this book shocked me, though it was well done. I do not wish to give away the plot, so I won't say too much. The only real flaw in the story is the strange little cat-like creature, Nazumi, who accompanies Suzu and can imitate voices. He took away the sense of reality. Other than that, this book is enjoyable.
This second volume stands out. It shows Chrono's talent as an artist and historical-fiction writer. Buy it, and experience an above-average manga of the samurai genre.
