About this Collection

This volume continues the manga adaptation of the Sakura Taisen series, following the Imperial Combat Revue as they defend Tokyo from supernatural threats. It collects the next chapter of the steampunk adventure, blending mecha action with character-driven drama.

In "A Date In Asakusa," Ogami and Iris share a night at the movies, but when a monster film stirs long-buried memories, Iris’s past in France surfaces—unintentionally triggering her psychic abilities and shaking the theater to its core. Written by Ohji Hiroi, Yuko Fukami, and Lillian Diaz-Przybyl, and illustrated by Ikku Masa with inks by Star Print Brokers, this 2007 Tokyopop issue captures a quiet moment that spirals into something far more intense. The cover, a collaboration between Ikku Masa and James Lee, sets the tone with a vivid, emotional scene.
