The sword-slashing sequel to Peace Maker is here! Three months have passed since the Ikedaya Incident that crushed the anti-shogunate rebellion—and propelled the Shinsengumi, Kyoto's now-official police, into history as Kyoto's premium peacekeeping force. But there is no rest for the peaceful: An unexpected threat to the Shinsengumi arises, and it's going to take more than mere swords to defeat this new terror on the horizon.

The first three volumes of Peace Maker Kurogane were released in English by ADV Manga from October 4, 2004, to March 22, 2005, before the license was dropped and the publisher went defunct. Tokyopop picked up the series, republishing the previous volumes and releasing volumes four and five from March 10, 2009, to October 18, 2010.

The manga was adapted into a Japanese live-action TV series that aired from January 15, 2010, to March 19, 2010.
