Rurouni Kenshin Vol. 12 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

On his road to Kyoto, Kenshin is joined by Misao, one of the last of the Oniwabanshu, a bright but fiercely determined girl searching for her vanished leader, Aoshi Shinomori. Meanwhile, Kaoru and Yahiko set out from Tokyo to follow Kenshin west, and others begin hunting for the secrets of the Hiten Mitsurugi style. The closer Kenshin draws to Shishio Makoto's sphere of power, the thicker the shadows of the Meiji government—and his own past as a killer—become. Questioning anew what it means to carry a sword, he presses step by step toward the land of his reckoning.
