Kenshin Vol. 8
In the 11th year of Meiji, on the day marked in the Western calendar as May 14th, time once again began to flow. The shocking mid-day murder of Department of Internal Affairs Chief Tkubo a fait accompli, Kenshin leaves for Kyoto, scene of chaos and bloodshed-against the wishes of nearly everyone who knows him as the gentle "rurouni." Awaiting him there is Shishio Makoto, the hitokiri who replaced the cold-eyed assassin Himura Batttsai once he forswore further killing and took up the reversed-blade sakabatt. But does Kenshin go to Kyoto for a duel...or for a death-match?! Also a hit anime series, Rurouni Kenshin is beloved by fans around the world for its mix of historical detail, spectacular battles and, of course, romantic comedy.

Kenshin Vol. 9
A glimpse of the new Japan if the mad ambitions of Shishio Makoto should succeed is revealed when Kenshin arrives in Kyoto and meets him at last...although the epic battle between them will have to wait. Pitted against Shishio's soldiers, Kenshin's reversed-edge sakabato is broken - can it be reforged? Should it be reforged? For time has once again begun to flow, and violence once more washes over the land. Although Kenshin has abandoned the ways of the hitokiri and has sworn to take life no longer, a new assassin has now arisen-one whose taste for blood and thirst for power is far greater than that of Kenshin ever was....

Kenshin Vol. 10
His sakabato broken in battle, Kenshin seeks out the man who forged it-Arai Shakku'u-only to be turned away. Seiku, son of the legendary swordsmith, had for a time been continuing his father's work (the forging of katana, meant for killing), but has since given up that calling, and spends his time making humble cooking knives. Respecting Seiku's wishes, Kenshin leaves without the desired blade... but not before Shishio's spies learn that Shakkuu has forged one last sword. Meanwhile, Shishio arrives in Kyoto with orders for his ten generals or "Ten Swords" to join him and put into motion a plan to take over Japan. Cho, one of Shishio's "swords," learns early of Shakkuu's final blade and determines to secure it at any cost. Now, armed only with his broken sakabato, Kenshin must face Cho in battle....
