Bakumatsu Renka Shinsen-Gumi

Developed by Bridge, this love-adventure game targets girl gamers by making as its main character the first female member of the Shinsen-Gumi. Players take the role of this character and deepen their relationship with Shinsen-Gumi commanders that include Soushi Okita and Shizou Katato. The game serves up a story based in truth where you have a chance to build a true love relationship. As the theme of the game differs from the combat-oriented Red and Genki Shinsen-Gumi titles, so too has the art style changed. The members of the Shinsen-Gumi have been prettied up with long hair and youthful looks. It's exactly what you'd expect to find in a love simulation game. Sometimes wrongly credited as "Bakumatsu Koihana."
