"Is it too hard to understand? Since it's a fanfic, we can do things we're not allowed to do in the anime." Sougo glanced to Kagura and smirked. *** A year has passed since the battles of the Final Arc. In this alternate universe, everything has returned to normal... at least by Gintama standards. A Shipping Tournament is underway, where the characters must get into pairs and compete for popularity. A squad of Amanto policemen have arrived on Earth to "cooperate" with the Shinsengumi in eliminating the Joui rebels. And if that isn't enough, a villain from Sougo's past threatens to wipe out the entire city. Gintama* (pronounced Gintama Pointer) makes reference to Gintama as a satirical fanfiction about a satirical anime. From the squabbling romance between Kagura and Sougo, to the tragedy of Hijikata's true love, to Shinpachi's questionable attempts at seducing you the Reader, this is a tale of laughter and tears, starring the characters we all know and love. *** 1st Place Winner of The Anime Awards 2018 hosted by @niriha684106
