Rurouni Kenshin #17

In "Howling Laugh," the quiet aftermath of Shishio's defeat gives way to uneasy normalcy as Kenshin begins to heal. Sword-Hunter Cho, now working with the Tokyo police, shares the fates of the surviving Ten Swords, offering glimpses into lives shaped by violence and the weight of the past. Written by Nobuhiro Watsuki, Gerard Jones, and Kenichiro Yagi, with art by Watsuki and inks by Takei, Mashima, Gin, and others, this issue captures a moment of reflection in a world still haunted by its shadows. The cover, by Watsuki and Matt Hinrichs, sets a tone of lingering tension beneath stillness.
