After a hectic New Year's Party leaves Otose's Snack Bar in ruins, the Yorozuya, Otose, Catherine, and Tama end up staying with the Shinsengumi. Now, unless they manage to get enough money to repair the building, Otose's Snack Bar will be shut down for good, and there will be no home to go back to. While desperately trying to restore the building, everyone will have to get closer and work together, but some get a little closer than others...

"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
