The best romance/martial arts manga ever....

Needless to say, this manga is an absolute masterpiece. The work of art is pure beauty and inspiration. Much better than the anime and will always have a special place in one's heart who enjoyed this series from beginning to end. 'Nuff said.

This series started out great in terms of of narrative. As the series progressed though, the story was replaced with a goal in each arc. This produced many well done fights that helped me continue on with the story.

I started reading this manga when it first started got translated in English I've never turned back ever since.Now I own every single volume, even the perfect edition. If you looking for martial arts, sword fights, a bit of Japanese history, and comedy this is the manga for you. All three arc were awesome but the last arc was the one that touched me to most. I feel that Watsuki Nobuhiro is on of the most talented and creative mangaka ever and I look up to him to also become a great mangaka. Jinchu, the last arc was definitely the best I've ever read and art work was the one of the best I've ever seen. It kept me so interested wanting to read more and peaked my interest with every page. Rurouni Kenshin is truly a great read.

I liked the series. It has strong characters and a storyline that fits perfectly for a historical/fighting manga. When I finished reading the Kyoto arc, I feared that the only purpose of the rest of the story would be to continue a good selling manga. But the last arc was well done too. And there would be something missing in the series without some insight in Kenshin's past.
The reason why I haven't voted a perfect score is, that the series had no moments that absolutely touched me or forced me to read on. So in my opinion it's a very good manga, that only lacks the super-strong moments which the very best mangas have.

personally, my immortal favorite series, of all time. the anime is great too, up till the end of the Shishio arc. then i hear it drops somewhat, due to master Watsuki not being done the final arc at the time. it's light and it's funny, and it's dark and deep. what more can you want? read it. now. like, right now.

OMG u have to read this if u like swords, fighting, martial arts, killing, and bits of romance ^_^. THIS manga is for anyone to read =) it will make you happy, sad, pissed, laugh, depressed, and VERY satisfied ^_^...once u finish this manga u will be sooooo happy that u will want to write a comment like this one once it is over...BUTTTTTT if u want to go PAST the manga ending u have to watch the movie (Samurai X: Reflection) <--- but beware it is SAD OMG so depressing but at the same time really interesting and enjoyable... it twists the manga a little bit, but it still has the same concept.

you must be aware.... that those of u that watch the movie Samurai X:reflection, it is DEPRESSING. i dunno about u but it was a GREAT movie... i just wanted to kill the writers (not the mangaka), director, storyboard person, the screenplay dude, the animation director, the animation staff the director of photography, and all the other ones listed at animenewsnetowrk... lol but it still was a really good movie well i hope this helped

i think i might have A.D.H.D

YOU MUST READ!!!!!

This series is probably my all-time favorite manga of them all. All the panels have been drawn nicely and well-done. The story is also very good. I really do enjoy Watsuki Nobuhiro work.
