I'm Really Not Okita

Synopsis:

Saito Soji's parents wanted her to grow up like Okita, someone who stood by her beliefs and stayed true to herself. That's why they named her Soji.

But that doesn't mean she's actually Okita, the genius swordsman of the Shinsengumi.

One day, a little fox named Konnosuke came looking for her.

"Just as expected of Lord Okita! Even after being reincarnated, you were willing to help strangers without knowing why. Such noble character is truly admirable!"

The fox took her rejection as agreement to help and brought her straight to the headquarters of the Time Government.

Wait, I'm really not Okita! And Okita was obviously not a woman.

And so, under the strangest circumstances, she became a Saniwa.

Soji: I told you, I'm not Okita!

Kiyomitsu: Yasusada, Okita-kun must have a good reason for saying that.

Yasusada: Hmm... When will Okita-kun finally accept that we know she's been reincarnated?

Soji: I'm really not! Somebody help me.

It wasn't until later that Soji discovered she really was the reincarnation of Okita.

What could she do? She was at a loss. She couldn't exactly drag Hijikata out here to argue with him.

But why was she teaming up with the general of the Oni clan? Compared to Kazama, she naturally trusted her companions more.

-

That day, Yamanbagiri stood firmly in front of her.

"I won't let him hurt you again."

Wanting to protect her was Yamanbagiri's original resolve.

But later, Yamanbagiri realized his feelings for Soji weren't simply a sword warrior's desire to protect his master. They were love...

Yamanbagiri loved her.

And she loved Yamanbagiri too.
