Chronicle During Books Rurouni Kenshin, Volume 01 (Rurouni Kenshin #1)
Packed with action, romance and historical intrigue, Rurouni Kenshin is one of the most beloved and popular manga series worldwide. Set against the backdrop of the Meiji Restoration, it tells the saga of Himura Kenshin, once an assassin of ferocious power, now a humble rurouni, a wandering swordsman fighting to protect the honor of those in need.A hundred and fifty years ago in Kyoto, amid the flames of revolution, there arose a warrior, an assassin of such ferocious power he was given the title Hitokiri: Manslayer. With his bloodstained blade, Hitokiri Battosai helped close the turbulent Bakumatsu period and end the reign of the shoguns, slashing open the way toward the progressive Meiji Era. Then he vanished, and with the flow of years became legend.
In the 11th year of Meiji, in the middle of Tokyo, the tale begins. Himura Kenshin, a humble rurouni, or wandering swordsman, comes to the aid of Kamiya Kaoru, a young woman struggling to defend her father's school of swordsmanship against attacks by the infamous Hitokiri Battosai. But neither Kenshin nor Battosai are quite what they seem...

Had no idea what to expect with this but I enjoyed it a lot. I had no idea there was a lot of comedy elements in it. I thought it was just a standard samurai affair, but the comedy was a welcome surprise, and one that I did not expect to enjoy once I came across it as Japan humour can be a bit too strange for my liking at times. This manga has a good mix of action and humour. It has your super-strong, impossible-to-kill protagonist, but it's played differently than in most manga. He doesn'tMy dad and I used to watch this together when I was six. I still didn't watch the whole anime and read the manga but I love it so, five well deserved stars.
Wow! I really liked this book! It's way better than the anime, it let me get a deeper look into just how sweet of a person Kenshin is! I would definitely reccommend this series to any anime/manga lover.
Kenhin Himura is not your typical Shonen (boy's) manga hero. He's not a spunky teenager (he's actually pushing 30) he's not on a quest to be greatest ninja/pirate/karate champ of them all, and he doesn't get pumped up and excited for a fight. In fact, Kenshin seems to be what your traditional rock-headed fight-loving shonen protagonist might become after the end of a series; he's had his share of battles and just wants to sit back and enjoy life. The bulk of the series occurs in 1878, ten years
I prefer these old mangas where the female sidekick used to be brave, strong, funny. Like Inuyasha.So far, I am not hooked, but I liked it since lately I love to read and watch anything Japanese historical. The era in this manga is the same as in the dorama JIN, same setting, same political issues, samurais.Kenshin is too nice and girlie looking to love him from the very beginning. I liked him more in the first chapter where all he said was "my pardons". It was cute. I also like that he is not a
June 17, 2017 Edit:I just watched the absolutely beautiful first movie of the movie trilogy adaptation and that made me want to finally finish this series once and for all so I'm re-reading all the volumes I've read before and continuing with it for that purpose. At the moment I think the movie is better than the manga (*gasp*) and I highly recommend it for anyone who likes this manga and anime. It's visually stunning and the plot is a mismatch of a few of the manga arcs woven together pretty
