Kagero no Tsuji

A story about a gifted swordsman who faces with various troubles brought to him with strong sense of justice and genuine sympathy to commoners. Sakazaki Iwane is a ronin who spends idle days in Edo. Until a few months ago, he was a promising son and successor to a powerful family in Bungo. He has came back to Edo, where he lived for a while for swordplay training with his two best friends, after a tragedy in the three’s home domain—both of the two friends died, one of them killed by Iwane by command of the domain lord’s chief retainer. Iwane left his home for Edo, leaving behind his fiancée, a sister of the friend he killed. Eventually, Iwane detects the conspiracy behind the deaths of the two friends and struggles to reform his domain. —NHK

The continuation of the previous season.

Iwane lives his peaceful live in Edo, filleting the eels at Miyatogawa restaurant. His sister is going to marry, and though he can’t attend the wedding, he isn’t dissatisfied with that. The clan’s situation has changed for better, and it seems that nothing will make troubles in the future. For now, all that’s matter to him.

However, the exchange of the leader in the residence in Edo may bring a new conflict. Iwane may not belong to the clan anymore, but he still will be needed for correcting the wrongdoing of people in the Sekimae clan.

What will he do, and how will his relationship with people in Edo continue, we’ll see in this season.
