Rurouni Kenshin

| 0 Comments

I just finished reading the last volumes of the manga Rurouni Kenshin. It's a good conclusion to the series (and makes me even more upset that the third OVA screws up the characters so much).


There are two follow-up pieces of RK that were published after Vol. 28 was released: Hana ni Sakura and Yahiko no Sakabatou. As far as I can tell, these haven't been published officially in English, although scanslations of these two works exist.


One of the big differences I've found with American Comics vs. Japanese Manga is that in many series, Japanese creators are willing to step away from their creations and not run their creative properties into the ground. (This is likely why I respect Western writers who won't sequelize their works into eternity).
