Before he was a protector, Kenshin was a fearsome assassin known as Battosai. But when he meets gentle Tomoe Yukishiro, a beautiful young woman who carries a huge burden in her heart, his life will change forever.

In 1879, Kenshin and his allies face their strongest enemy yet: his former brother-in-law Enishi Yukishiro and his minions, who've vowed their revenge.

这是一部跨越年代的爱情故事，灵感来源于宇多田光的两首知名金曲《First Love》(1999) 和《初恋》(2018)。两个少年在 90 年代末第一次坠入爱河；二十年后，一位即将订婚，而另一位则已离婚，与初涉情网的十几岁的儿子一起生活。
