SynopsisBuso Renkin is the story of teenager Kazuki Muto, who dies trying to save a girl who was being attacked by an eerie monster. The next morning, however, Kazuki is left wondering whether it was all a dream. Lo and behold, the girl, the monster, and his death are all real! The girl, Tokiko Tsumura, was actually trying to slay the homunculus (a beast that can take the form of humans, but whose main source of food is people), but Kazuki got in her way. To revive Kazuki, Tokiko replaces his heart with a "kakugane," an alchemic device that allows him to summon a lance with which to fight the monsters. It turns out that Tokiko is a member of Renkin Kenshi (Alchemist Soldiers), an organization sworn to protect the world from the diabolical creatures. Soon, Kazuki joins Tokiko in her quest to terminate the sinister being that creates and controls the homunculus. (Source: Viz) |

Buso Renkin is very similar to Bleach , so if you like Bleach, you'll like Buso Renkin. Buso renkin was done by the guy that did Kenshin ( cant spell the first part >< ) so the artwork is exactly the same . Some characters are unique, others are annoying, unique characters come mostly in the forms of hommunculi, the villians of the series, the other characters are good, theyre just the usual seen it before characters.Some characters to me just arent necessary, Mahiro is an example, however characters like these dont take away from the story. The weapon designs are intresting, some are more intresting than the character using them. The fights are done well, actually the fights get better and better as the series progresses. Overall this is a good manga thats worth checking out. read more

Busou Renkin is another great series authored by Nobuhiro Watsuki, the man responsible for Rurouni Kenshin. It shares the same mix of intense action, good story, great character development, and light-hearted humor. If you enjoyed the overall feel of Kenshin at all, then Busou Renkin is something you really should read.
Busou Renkin is written and illustrated by Nobuhiro Watsuki, the manga-ka of Rurouni Kenshin. Like Rurouni Kenshin, Busou Renkin is a lot of action, with just the right amount of comedy and romance thrown in.
Well, Buso Renkin may not be as great as Rurouni Kenshin, but both are by the same manga-ka and both have lots of action and a fair amount of humor. All Kenshin fans need to check out Buso Renkin.

Similar villians in that they both want to be nearly immortal.
