About the series
Set in the aftermath of Japan's Meiji Restoration, this 28-issue Viz series continues the journey of the wandering swordsman Kenshin Himura, a former assassin seeking redemption. Published from 2003 to 2006, it adapts storylines from the original manga, with Nobuhiro Watsuki's art and Kenichiro Yagi's writing anchoring the narrative alongside familiar faces like Sanosuke Sagara and the vengeful Enishi Yukishiro. A key English-language release, it brought the beloved rurouni's tale to a Western audience during the early 2000s manga boom.
