An unresolved past
A sample reading circle for Gintama. (Gintama Season 5), organised around an unresolved past.
Story context
Gintama. (Gintama Season 5)
Gintoki and his allies are in hiding when the search for Takasugi takes them toward Rakuyou, Kagura's home planet. Information about Utsuro and the Tendoushuu makes the various factions harder to separate from the cast's past. Read this continuation with those earlier loyalties in mind; personal history and the larger conflict are closely connected.

Which earlier event still shapes a present choice? Follow the connection without assuming that the character has already understood it.
Start with a specific scene, then separate what happens from how you interpret it.
Compare the character's goal at that point with the choice they actually make.
