☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis fourth volume of Tokyopop's Sakura Taisen manga adaptation continues the steampunk adventure of the Imperial Combat Revue, following the all-female Flower Division as they defend Tokyo from demonic threats. Based on the popular Sega video game series, this installment deepens the character dynamics and romantic tensions among the team members while advancing the supernatural conflict.
In "A Girl Named Kazuar," the tension mounts as Pale Setsuna probes Maria’s past with unsettling precision, forcing her to confront harrowing memories from her time in the Russian White Army. Meanwhile, her growing friction with Ensign Ogami reaches a breaking point after a volatile clash with Setsuna, testing the limits of their fragile alliance. Written by Ohji Hiroi, Yuko Fukami, and Lillian Diaz-Przybyl, with art by Ikku Masa and inks by Ikku Masa and Nancy Star, this 2006 Tokyopop issue delivers a gripping psychological duel wrapped in the series’ signature blend of drama and wartime intrigue. The cover, a striking collaboration by Ikku Masa and James Lee, captures the emotional weight of the moment.
In "A Girl Named Kazuar," the weight of the past collides with the present as Ensign Ogami finds herself at odds with Maria, whose painful memories of the Russian White Army are violently unearthed by the psychic influence of Pale Setsuna. Tensions escalate in the wake of a harrowing confrontation, testing loyalties and revealing the deep fractures beneath the surface of their fragile unity.
In "The Flower Division Goes Out," the Sakura Taisen troupe enjoys a rare evening of leisure after a successful performance, treated to a fancy dinner as a reward from General Yoneda—though the real magic lies in the quiet moments between sword and sorcery, where friendship and laughter bloom under the city lights.
