A historical action manga by Nobuhiro Watsuki set in the early Meiji era of Japan, blending real historical events with thrilling fictional swordplay. It follows Kenshin Himura, once feared as the legendary assassin 'Battousai the Manslayer' during the Bakumatsu period, who now wanders Japan carrying a reverse-blade sword and a vow never to kill again. The series masterfully weaves together exciting battles using fictional sword techniques, Japanese history, and themes of atonement and redemption. Both the 1996 anime and the highly successful live-action film series starring Takeru Satoh received critical acclaim domestically and internationally. The franchise revived interest in Meiji-era history among younger generations across Asia.
