Buso Renkin is very similar to Bleach , so if you like Bleach, you'll like Buso Renkin. Buso renkin was done by the guy that did Kenshin ( cant spell the first part >< ) so the artwork is exactly the same . Some characters are unique, others are annoying, unique characters come mostly in the forms of hommunculi, the villians of the series, the other characters are good, theyre just the usual seen it before characters.Some characters to me just arent necessary, Mahiro is an example, however characters like these dont take away from the story. The weapon designs are intresting, some are moreintresting than the character using them. The fights are done well, actually the fights get better and better as the series progresses. Overall this is a good manga thats worth checking out.
