Description

The beloved landmark tale of a Meiji-era swordsmans quest for redemption.

Action, romance and historical intrigue help make Nobuhiro Watsukis Rurouni Kenshin, the tale of a wandering swordsman set against the backdrop of the Meiji Restoration, one of the most popular manga titles of all time!

Isurugi Raijta, a truly old-school swordsman, comes to Kenshin and requests his aid in reforming the state of swordsmanship schools in Japan. Although Kenshin is intrigued by Raijtas ideals, Raijtas plan to weed out the schools he deems unfit is not in accordance with Kenshins deepest-held beliefs. But when Kenshin walks away from the offer, one fact quickly becomes apparent: Raijta will stop at nothing to ensure the supremacy of his own school of sword fighting!
