The Shinsengumi end up babysitting the good-for-nothing son of a distinguished family, and he gets dumped on Hijikata as an errand boy. Trouble erupts when it turns out his elder brother is the commander of the elite police unit, the Mimawarigumi, and sparks fly between the haughty officer and Hijikata. Worse still, the commander is quietly plotting something of his own. Rounding out the volume are sharp, funny shorts about a manga artist serializing from prison and a strange romance between a host and a noblewoman.

Gin Tama Vol. 42 spoilers
⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
Mimawarigumi commander Isaburo Sasaki's scheme becomes a slow-burning thread that will eventually shake the Shinsengumi to its core, quietly setting up conflict with Hijikata and Kondo. The pampered son grows just a little through the chaos, and awkward warmth seeps into his errand-running days. The prison manga artist arc mercilessly mocks a writer chained to deadlines, yet his stubborn devotion to his craft lands a surprisingly moving punch. The host and noblewoman story hides real romantic ache beneath crude gags, showcasing Sorachi at his sharpest.
