Interpretation Supposing Books Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration, Vol. 1 (Rurouni Kenshin Restoration #1)

A condensed retelling of the beloved samurai tale--one of the best-selling manga series of all time—released in conjunction with a new live-action movie.

During the violent upheaval of the Bakumatsu era, Hitokiri Battosai was a feared and ruthless assassin. But now that the Meiji Restoration has begun to heal the wounds of civil war, Battosai has taken up a new name…and a new calling! He is now Himura Kenshin , a rurouni wanderer who has vowed to only draw his sword to protect those in need. But not everyone is pleased with Kenshin’s new direction, and enemies from his dark past have vowed to bring him down!

Reads R to L (Japanese Style) for teen audiences.

I prefer the canon of Rurouni Kenshin, but this brings back good ol' days and memories.

Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration is the abridged RuRoKen created to capture the interest from the recent live action movie. This alternate telling contains top notch artwork. No frayed edges here, everyone has hair and costumes like a movie set. The characters are slightly different, but they are still obviously the ones readers will know.Rurouni Kenshin is the story of Kenshin Himura, former assassin (Hitokiri Battousai) of the Bakumatsu turned wandering swordsman in the Meiji Era. It's full of

This is a condensed version of the manga. It's really good! It seemed a bit rushed in a couple places, but that's to be expected, since it was condensed.

I read this not realizing that it was a prequel (my library had it, so I just picked it up and gave it a try), but it wasn't too tricky to follow. I might try the original manga series, although certain things bugged me in this. (For instance, I don't think there were camouflage-print kimonos in the Meiji era, or anything that resembled a screwdriver. I guess that might make it alternate history.)

Maybe if I hadn't read RK previously, I would have enjoyed this, but every single page I had the reaction of "This isn't as good as the original" and "why is he doing this??".

This didn't grab me like the original series did.
