For the past decade since the end of the war, Kenshin Himura has wandered the length and breadth of Japan. Following an ethos similar to that of the Shinsengumi - Aku Soku Zan - he has traveled, defeating evil but only resorting to deadly force when absolutely necessary. Now he has arrived in Tokyo, the nation's new capital, where an encounter with a blue-eyed girl will change the course of his journey and make him rethink the way he has lived his life. As he strives to protect his new friends and preserve the hard-won peace, Kenshin will face moral dilemmas and personal trials. The ghosts of his past adversaries will resurface, and in the midst of this new chapter, reunited with both old enemies and allies, Kenshin will find himself walking a precarious tightrope. What does the future have in store for him?
