About Rurouni Kenshin:
Created by Nobuhiro Watsuki, Rurouni Kenshin was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from Issue #19 in 1994 to Issue #43 in 1999 (Jump Comics Version, 28 volumes in total) and received great acclaim both domestically and internationally. A popular work that boasts a cumulative circulation of over 72 million copies worldwide (including digital versions). Currently, the sequel series Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc, with story consultant Kaworu Kurosaki, is being serialized in Jump SQ.
Kenshin Himura, a legendary swordsman who was feared as the Hitokiri Battosai at the end of the Edo period, took up the oath of not killing again after the Meiji Restoration. The story depicts a man with a reverse-edged sword (sakabato) that cannot cut people, who helps people along with his friends; a completely new hero who has overwhelming power but grows and suffers from the mistakes he has made; a completely new image of a hero drawn with delicate brushstrokes. The fast-paced battle scenes and moving story that explores the hearts of people have been adapted into TV anime and live-action movies, and are supported widely by different generations.
