My absolute favorite manga so far! And it was the 2nd manga I ever read. It didn't take me more than about 1 and a half year to collect all 28 books.

- The story is outstanding! I really love it. And thus I rated it 10.
- Watsuki's drawings are among the best, and it changes from very detailed in the beginning, and ends up quite plain in the end. However, it is still the same characters and they never changed because of his style. Even if it ended up more simple than it used to be, it still looks very beautiful! I rate his art 9.
- The characters are amazing, but mostly the main characters. They all have different background stories and special skills which makes them unique. However, some of the villains look a bit to monster, or inhuman which may appear a bit odd in a meiji tale. I rate the characters 9.
- I really enjoyed reading Ruroken, and I can say with all my heart that it deserves the title as one of the most loved manga ever. There are no loose threads as far as I know. I rate enjoyment 10.

In the end, the whole manga deserves a 10. I have recommended the manga to several people, and they have all enjoyed it, thought it was cool awesome or amazing! Don't hesitate reading Rurouni Kenshin, it is worth reading.
