Summary: THIS MANGA IS COMPLETELY AWESOME!!!
Review: This is one of the best manga I've ever read!!!! The story is very good. It's a little different than the anime series, but I like the manga better!!! I don't know why people are complaining about the translations though, if you're a tyical American that don't know Japanese it don't matter to you does it?!!! Anyway I'm just gonna' give you a little info on this manga, but don't worry I won't give away the whole book!!
This book starts out where, just like in the anime, Kamiya Kaoru attacks a rurouni (wanderer) because he's wielding a sword which is against the law, and also because a killer calling himself Hitokiri Battosai has been going on a murdering spree using Kaoru's family fighting style, Kamiya-Kashin-Ryu. 10 or 11 years ago in the bakamatsu, a warrior named Himura Battosai (nicknamed "Hitokiri" Battosai, because hitokiri is the Japanese word for assasin) killed people in the shadowy night for the Meiji government. It turns out the man Kaoru attacked was but a mere rurouni named Himura Kenshin (hmm). After finding out who the killer claiming himself to be Hitokiri Battosai is, Kenshin defeats him and his goons revealing himself to Kaoru as the real Hitokiri Battosai and uses the Battosai's signature fighting style Hiten-Mitsurugi-Ryu. Kaoru though, let's him stay at the dojo and he is known by Kaouru and his friends as Himura Kenshin.
After the first chapter which I just described Kenshin gets into more adventures involving an evil cop, a street thief, a fighter-for-hire, and more!!
To put in short, this book is very exciting, an excellent, story with excellent art, exellent fight scenes, and excellent humor. I advise you to buy it and buy all the other ones! It is most certainly worth every single penny!!!! ^_^

Summary: Great Storyline
Review: This is one of the best plots in any manga or animation. The theme caters both to the adult audience and the younger audience. Combine with the animation this series is a classic and a must have. The path of redemption is always hard, but to pair it with comedy makes it both serious and comedic in a way that it works. I would recommend this to any family.
