Book Overview
The battle to decide the fate of Meiji-era swordsmanship has begun 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 Shonen Jump titles among fans to date. Himura Kenshin, once an assassin (or hitokiri ) of ferocious power, now fights to protect the honor of those in need. He may be one of the "good guys" now (as Misao insists) but, even a month later, Kenshin still is haunted by Kyoto. How can he not be, when it was in Kyoto that, as the feared "Hitokiri Batt sai," he once made the streets flow red...? And yet, before he departs this place of so many memories, there are ghosts which must be put to rest. It's said that, when strong feelings are attached to a particular wound, so long as those feelings persist, the scar will remain. How did Kenshin get that cross-shaped scar on his face, and who was it that gave it to him?

What this Volume is really about
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
First of all i dont think anyone here (or at least most of the people) has even read THIS volume of Rurouni Kenshin. -sigh- here is what is it is about.... After the deadly battle in Kyoto the gang reflect over the events that have passed, and they begin to wonder just how kenshin got the cross shaped scar on his cheek and why its still around?(I mean the thing is pretty old). Kenshin visits a mysterious grave in koyoto and trys to move on with the present things in life. Just as the gang begins to relax six mysterious people arrive and they all seem to hold a key to kenshins bloody past. They start causing trouble for kenshin and pratically everyone that has befriended him... But the real danger may be the mysterious man with glasses just why does he hate kenshin so? Read and find out! This is possibly one of the best books in the kenshin series so far ( Volume 19 is just as good if not better).
