by Nobuhiro Watsuki, 223 pagesThis final volume brings us to the climactic confrontation between the titular hero and the lost soul he unintentionally injured. Will sad, bitter Enishi complete his revenge, or will the spiritually-renewed Kenshin succeed in his effort to protect everyone in sight--including the man trying to kill him?
Watsuki makes good on his promises. :) In Kenshin, he has created a fun historical action series that also manages to be more than just a series of unlikely smack-downs between progressively tougher combatants (although it is certainly that, at times). In between the fighting, Kenshin's little family reinforces its foundations and his enemies reveal their own human strengths and weaknesses. When the dust clears, you want to know all of their fates. Watsuki answers the big questions, gives a few hints as to others, and then lets you imagine the characters figuring out the rest for themselves.
