I read this in shonen jump. I wasnt a Kenshin reader to begin with, but after reading this, I became one. Whether you know the characters or are getting introduced to them, this is a very enjoyable manga. If youre familar with the art of kenshin and buso renkin, then the art should seem familiar for you. the story is a good tie in to the Kenshin series, it makes several refferences to the original kenshin story so somebody new to the Kenshin series can slowly learn about the series. Overall this is a very enjoyable manga, if you can find it, read it. Ifyoure not a Kenshin reader, this manga may make you one.
