Nobuhiro Watsuki's Rurouni Kenshin combines action, romance, and historical plot, and is one of the most popular manga of all time. The story follows Himura Kenshin, a wandering swordsman who strives to protect the honor of the weak. Isurugi Raijuta, a truly traditional swordsman, seeks Kenshin's help to reform the state of fencing schools in Japan. Despite Kenshin's interest in Raijuta's ideas, his proposal to "clean up" the schools he deems inappropriate does not align with Kenshin's deeper beliefs. However, when Kenshin steps back from the offer, it quickly becomes clear that Raijuta will do whatever it takes to ensure the supremacy of his own fencing school!
