Rurouni Kenshin, Vol. 17: The Age Decides the Man

Description

The battle to decide the fate of Meiji-era swordsmanship has begun! Action,
romance, and historical intrigue help make Nobuhiro Watsuki’s Rurouni Kenshin,
the tale of a wandering swordsman set against the backdrop of the Meiji
Restoration, one of the most popular Shonen Jump titles among fans to date.
Himura Kenshin, once an assassin (or hitokiri ) of ferocious power, now fights
to protect the honor of those in need. The madness of Shishio Makoto may know
no bounds, but what of his body? An eleventh-hour revelation suggests a
possible weakness, but will the news come in time to help a critically wounded
Kenshin, whose own strength is reaching its limit? In this new era of Meiji,
it’s getting harder and harder to tell the innocents from the outlaws.
Perhaps, as Kenshin says, it should be for history to decide which side was
right, and which side was wrong. The time for hitokiri such as Kenshin and
Shishio has passed; let not the man decide the age…but the age, the man.
