Winter Cicada

During the turbulent period at the end of the Tokugawa period, in this era of crisis, the founder of the country Soka Touma (voiced by Shinichiro Miki) and the minister of the Tokugawa Shogunate Akizuki Keiichiro (voiced by Morikawa Tomoyuki) met. The two fell in love with each other as soon as they met. Caojia admires Qiuyue's ideas even more, while Qiuyue appreciates Caojia's open-mindedness and forward-lookingness. On the eve of Soka going to London to study, the two people who were in love with each other finally conveyed their feelings to each other and agreed to meet when they returned. But when the two met again, it was on the battlefield. At this time, Qiuyue had broken both legs and was depressed by the defeat. Caojia arranged Qiuyue to her home and took good care of her. But the two people on opposite sides could not withstand the tragedy of this era. Just like this "winter cicada", born in the wrong season, it cannot escape the tragic fate. This film is adapted from "Cicada of Winter", a prequel to Mr. Nitta Yukaku's manga "Romance Embracing Spring". There are three parts in total: "Edo Love Song", "Ezo War Chronicles" and "Tokyo Tragedy".
