About this ebook

One hundred and forty years ago in Kyoto, with he coming of the American "Black Ships," there arose a warrior who, felling men with his bloodstained blade, gained the name Hitokiri, manslayer! His killer blade helped close the turbulent Bakumatsu era and slashed open the progressive age known as Meiji. Then he vanished, and with the flow of years, became legend. -- VIZ Media

Ratings and reviews

This series has been and still is one of the best manga stories I've ever read, close second to Full metal alchemist. And the bubble zoom feature is probably one of the greatest features for reading manga on a phone.

and I loved it so much. Could not resist to have it on my tablet

This my favorite series. Great read.
