This manga came out of left field and blew my mind away. I cannot recommend this manga highly enough- everything about it was amazing! The deep character development and the twists make you feel like your riding the craziest roller coaster from beginning to end! However if your looking for crazy, bloody action sequences you might want to look elsewhere. This particular manga will definitely crack open that mind of yours and really make you think, almost forcing you to put yourself into the shoes of some of the characters, and there is quite an amount of reading to do. But it is well ... worth it,and the ending will make you yearn for more and more. This is a must read for anyone and everyone!

Amazing. amazing, AMAZING!!! This manga was absolutely fantastic- from the deep rooted history of feudal Japan, to the spectacular swordsmenship. This story (for those who don't know, where the hell have you been?) follows the life of a rurouni (wanderer), Kenshin Himura, and tells of the epic battles, forgotten romance, and struggling times of Japan during the 1800's. This manga is for him and her- while it is mostly action, there are plenty of romance scenes to make both happy. My only criticism is that I wish the final few chapters (with Enishi) were done better, almost seems like it was an after thought- like ... Majin Buu in Dragon Ball Z (ugh!). This manga has also a modest re-readable value. So if you are looking for an excellent story with drama, history, and lots and lots of sword slices then you will have a field day with Rurouni Kenshin!
