The beloved landmark tale of a Meiji-era swordsman's quest for
redemption.
Action, romance and historical intrigue help make Nobuhiro Watsuki's
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 Raijūta, 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 Raijūta's ideals, Raijūta's plan
to weed out the schools he deems unfit is not in accordance with
Kenshin's deepest-held beliefs. But when Kenshin walks away from the
offer, one fact quickly becomes apparent: Raijūta will stop at nothing
to ensure the supremacy of his own school of sword fighting!
