Kenshin le Vagabond #17-18

This 2007 French omnibus edition from France Loisirs collects volumes 17 and 18 of Nobuhiro Watsuki's beloved Kenshin le Vagabond, bringing together two chapters of the wandering swordsman's journey in a single compact volume. The cover presents Kenshin himself — his long red hair and gentle yet alert expression front and center — alongside a dark-cloaked, white-haired figure looming ominously above, while a third character stands close at Kenshin's side, suggesting rivalry and alliance in equal measure. The bold cover question — "A-t-il toujours une balafre en forme de croix ?" ("Does he still have his cross-shaped scar?") — sets an intriguing tone that makes this edition hard to put down before you've even opened it.
