Enter Kenshin, a young orphan whose fighting skills were honed by the great swordsman Hiko. But Kenshin's soul is embattled much like the killing fields of Japan, his hopes for a new world peace at odds with his life of blood and killing. His world is thrown into further confusion by the arrival of a mysterious woman named Tomoe, Her kindness and attention show him a kind of life he didn't know existed. Can she help the assasin become a real man? Or does she hide a secret that could destroy everything he has come to depend on? Join the battle and discover the enemy within"
