Summary of this Book...
Soldier strives for redemption after the war, with the help of beautiful maiden and appealing kid.

How Watsuki-san took that hackneyed a plot and turned it into a masterpiece, I'll never know, but this manga is deservedly a must-read.
This type of Book is good for...
People who love:
historical fiction
martial arts
romantic comedy
I especially liked...
The evocation of the Meiji restoration is first-rate.
I didn't like...
...the great number and length of the fight scenes.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
...read the rest of the series
...study Japanese history
This Book made me feel...
...elated.
The author of this Book...
...deserves the Pulitzer Prize for manga, if there were one.
I recommend this Book because...
This is a great introduction to the manga genre. It has the characters, the story, the artwork, and, as a plus, a sizable dose of history.
