Kenshin (manga) SPOILERS(?)
 

Yesterday I bought/read the final book of Kenshin and I loved it. The revenge arc surely had some negative aspects but Kenshin's fight with Enishi, the final "Amakakeru Ryo no Hirameki"-attack and the friends going their own ways was a great way to end a great series. And I just loved to see teenage-Yahiko, he was really cool!
Anyone else who has read the whole Manga? Thoughts?

I skimmed through it in Japanese actually.
The manga seems to be pretty superior to the anime. Plus there were a few story archs that I don't remember seeing in the anime.

You know, actually there were some story arcs (like the Raijuta one) I liked a lot more in the Anime than in the Manga but I stopped watching it after the Kyoto-arc since there were only filler eps after that. They completely left out the revenge-arc!
Isn't there an English translation of the book?

No, not yet anyways. (And if there is, it's brand new)

We actually got in to Kenshin from the fan subs a few years back, then we went and collected the Japanese manga after that.

It's been enough years that some of my memory on the anime is fuzzy...

I will agree, the anime had it's good points. I mean, overall it was a good series. atleast untill it became all fillers. I understand that Watsuki actually didn't even like most of the anime. How sad is that? I guess he didn't like what they did to most of his stories?

And Then, the final OVA that ended the anime series.

Oh yeah, that final OVA... :evil:
There were countless times when Watsuki mentioned that he'd never have anything but a happy end and those OVA-guys just kill Kenshin and Kaoru off. Stupid...

I never really saw the Serius or read the comics but I heard good things from it.

Kenshin is one of my fave manga. well, my brother buys 'em i read 'em (that's the economic way, people :D )

i didn't know that the final part is out. have to cal my bro, :D
