About this Collection
This volume of Rurouni Kenshin continues the climactic Jinchu arc, focusing on Kenshin's confrontation with his past sins and the scar-bearing antagonist, Enishi Yukishiro. It collects chapters from the original Japanese manga, delving into Kenshin's emotional struggle as he faces the consequences of his actions as the Hitokiri Battosai.
In "Kyoto Epilogue: Early Summer Morning," Kenshin finally returns to a long-kept promise, revealing why it's taken a decade to visit a sacred grave. As Sano searches for answers about Saito's fate, Megumi offers Kaoru quiet wisdom in the stillness of a summer morning. Written by Nobuhiro Watsuki, Gerard Jones, and Kenichiro Yagi, with art by Watsuki and inks by Watsuki, Hiroyuki Takei, Hiro Mashima, and Shinga Gin, this poignant chapter unfolds with the emotional weight and precise detail that define the series. The cover by Nobuhiro Watsuki and Matt Hinrichs captures the moment’s quiet intensity.
