this is the most wonderful manga that watanabe taeko ever makes! i really love this manga ! hoping volume 24 will comes soon to my country ! >"< Expect it so much

I love it. Though I skip out on most stuff, I definitely love so much things about KH.
-Saitou`s blushing face. I love his inner thoughts and his poker face. So adorably funny.
-Okita`s denseness and idiocy (at times). How could he be so slow?
and most of the shudo stuff. I admire Sei though she doesn`t change that much. I admire her strong will and desire.
A very good read thats not a waste of time (though scans are so friggin slow).

This is a fasicnating and historical romance graphic novel. I absolutely love the artwork!! Anyone can read Kaze Hikaru! ^^

This is indeed my favorite manga....well....almost.
If not for its suuuuuuuper slow scanlations, id love it even more. This manga is wonderful except for okita's stuburness of being "bushi", and i actualy like the slow pacing of this manga, cause i like the way things are at the moment.
I just hope the scanlators can pick up the pace!!!

How long has it been? It's too long! Far too long! And this manga even not episodic like Doraemon or Detective Conan. This is ridiculous! All for what? Okita and Sei's dragging romance? That romance that we've been waiting for YEARS! Remember that romance?

I used to really love this manga. So funny, clean art though it's only a so-so story but it made me laugh. Still do, sometimes. It's kinda boring now with stagnant story lines and kinda unfunny humor. I get the feeling that mangaka wants to explore all the accuracy of the history, but dear Lord, please ends it. Shinsengumi reign is not that long (only about 6 years), but somehow this manga manage to drag it for so loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooong.

Used to recommended, now...? Still waiting for the ending

For real, to date it is 22 years this manga has been running.

I really do appreciate the story, character development and how much care is put into the art (so neat, detailed and not all-over-the-place as most long mangas, i.e. 7Seeds and Skip Beat). STILL, how slow can you goooooo... T__T

Such a drag. When I retire, I will probably be able to read this in whole!

This story started up good, and though the romance is sooo slow, I can't bring myself to leave this series. All because of the avdorable character and plot. Sei is way too awesoommeee. She improve herself so much even though she's a girl. Her spirit to be with the one he love is amazing. I love her persistent character. Okita, on contrary, acting super dense. And my favorite character in this manga is absolutely Saito-san~ >,<
This manga has all the things I need: comedy, romance, historical, samurai, gender bender, and blushing bishounen. I hope they'll keep publish this manga in my country...

I love this manga. I had put it off for a while when I noticed that sei had shaved her head. I couldn't stop thinking about it but I soon got over it. I mean, she can always grow her hair back. And as for how the author plans to continue the story, I hope that she doesn't make end like it did in real life. The real Okita Souji died at age 24-27 by Tuberculosis!! Also, the character I believe she's basing Sei's character on, dies before Okita. I recently found that out when I researched the history of Shinsengumi. I really shouldn't have looked it up, it's making want to quit reading because I know it has a bad ending. But after I read what kujika said (fellow member of baka-updates) I got a little more hope, maybe the author will choose to keep both of them alive. But all I can do is hope. I will continue to read the manga until the very end!! (I wonder how many more volumes Watanabe plans to write...?)

I *highly* recommend this manga.

If you enjoyed Rurouni Kenshin and you would like to see something in the same historical-fiction time period (and some of the same people appear! Saito Hajime, for one) with maybe more romance and innuendo (be warned: I suggest this for people age 16+) then check it out. ^_^

Another Great gender bender comes up with a great plot and a better story line i read up to Volume 5 and it only gets better, Just go and read it
