For a decade, he's tried to bury his past... now his past returns to bury him!
A decade ago, the deadliest assassin of the Meiji Revolution swore that he had killed for the last time. Peace doesn't last, however, and as the flames of revolution rise once again, Kenshin must take up his blunted sword to protect the innocent. Will he have the Meiji government that so many died to establish, and his newfound friends, from their own mistakes? Or will he fall victim to his bloody past, slain by demons of his own creation?
