Ten years ago, Himura Kenshin was an assassin. He left that life, swearing an oath to never kill again. Now he is a wanderer, his sword one made to protect: the cutting blade is on the reverse. His past starts catching up with him in events that lead to Kenshin unexpectedly finding a home with the young dojo owner Kamiya Kaoru. With his skill, can he keep using the blunt edge of his sword in the fights he's forced into - or will he have to turn back into a killer to protect those he loves?
