Rurouni Kenshin is the result of the work and

talent of NobuhiroWatsuki . Kenshin first

appeared in 1994, in the weekly japanese

comic magazine ''Weekly Jump''.

Nobuhiro wanted to make a fantasy/adventure

type manga. The idea of making a manga

about the adventures of a wanderer samurai in the

Meiji Era came to him because at that time, he was

reading some history books. At first, Nobuhiro

wanted Kenshin to be a short story manga, that

wouldn't take more than 3 volumes, but when the

first episode came out, its success was so big that

actually there are 23 volumes of the adventures

of our favourite samurai.

Differences between the anime and the manga are,

basically, some short stories that appear in the

manga but doesn't appear in the anime. One of the

things I really enjoy about the manga, are the sketches

about the characters that Watsuki made, they are very

interesting because you can read how the author created

that character and if it has or not an historical

background.

To end this section about the manga Rurouni Kenshin, I

just want to thank Nobuhiro Watsuki for his great

work and for letting us enjoy such a great manga like

Rurouni Kenshin, Thank You.
