Target readers: those who know at least half of the plot of "Rurouni Kenshin" manga/TV series. Preferably those who have watched/read the original work.
Disclaimer: Rurouni Kenshin and all the characters are owned by Watsuki Nobuhiro SENSEI, Sony, Jump etc. This site is not affiliated to any people/organization, and is not made to offend anyone in any way, nor to make profit. Extra thanks to Watsuki SENSEI, who welcomed his fans to write/draw fan fictions about his famous manga "Rurouni Kenshin" that was eventually expanded into TV series, OVAs,electronic games etc.
Here, we are to present a series of stories that is consistent with the manga, and is joined up by the theme "Behind the Scenes".
Just as the title tells you, the fan fictions presented below are scenes that have some points (i.e. meaningful, interesting, non-trivial content), and therefore are very possibly already thought up by Watsuki SENSEI, but because they are not of "SHOUNEN MANGA" style (e.g. too much silence or too much words, or both), or too complicated for the target readers of JUMP to appreciate (e.g. too many psycho stuff), or simply, is not too relevant to the main plot (i.e. not about how Kenshin finds his way to live on and compensate for the lives he has taken in the name of righteousness).
The stories are mainly written from Hiko Seijuurou (Kenshin's teacher)'s point of view, or around/about him, except "Friendship that's so Special".
Enough talking. Enjoy yourselves! (262501 recommends you to read the following separate stories in the order that is presented, or you may miss some of the surprise.)
Inside the Mantle (I) -- Hiko Seijurou XIII had turmoil in his heart after he heard that his only student, Kenshin, had become a HITOKIRI (shadow assassin) at the teenage age of 14...…<
Inside the Mantle (II) -- After Kenshin learned the succession technique but refused to succeed HITEN MITSUGURI RYU ("Sky-soaring way of using the sword"), and to take the mantle which is the token of the RYU, (and begged Hiko to protect his friends at AOIYA), Hiko sat inside the mantle and pulled out...
Friendship that's so Special -- Just after the end of JINCHUU ("the 'righteous' killing by man"), Kenshin and Sanosuke admitted to each other their feelings towards each other… (262501: This is NOT a 'sex-story'.’. MESSWORLD is meant to be suitable for anybody.)
The HITEN MITSUGURI RYU -- It was Meiji 25. Hiko revealed the secret of HITEN MITSUGURI RYU to Kenji (Kenshin's’s first child) and Yahiko, who were fighting for the title of the successor of the RYU...
