Nobuhiro Watsuki is a true mangaka! Rurouni Kenshin is a brilliant story with a deep plot, memorable characters, and all of the artwork found within the series is amazing!!! If you haven't read Kenshin, you owe it to yourself to start from volume 1. If you have read Kenshin, you owe it to yourself to complete the series. I personally cannot wait for volume 9 to come out in March!!! Read it. You'll enjoy it!!!
