Rurouni Kenshin features story and art by Nobuhiro Watsuki.

As the Juppongatana, or "Ten Swords," move to attack those at Aoi-Ya, Kenshin - accompanied by Sanosuke and Saito - squares off against one of his most powerful opponents yet: Shinomori Aoshi, former Okashira or "head" of the Oniwabanshu. Bound by promises to both return Misao's "Aoshi-sama" to her safely and to face Shinomori himself in a climactic, decisive battle, the time is now to learn once and for all who has the will to live, who has the will to die... and who has the will to fight.
