Rurouni Kenshin, Vol. 3, Vizbig Edition (Rurouni Kenshin VIZBIG Edition) Paperback – July 15, 2008

Warning: SPOILERS!!!!The series revolves around Kenshin-he is the protagonist and his story takes center stage. But Sanosuke is my favorite character and one of my favorite characters of all time and he gets a lot of attention in this volume. To begin with, the first chapter detailing Saito's attack on Sano is in full-color. That's a little gruesome, as Sano is stabbed and left critically injured and there's a lot of blood, but Watsuki's artwork is, as always, gorgeous. There is a second full-color chapter dealing with Kenshin's meeting with Misao, but it's full-color Sanosuke that gets me.It's also interesting to see that the anime followed Watsuki's work in this volume so closely. The shot of Sanosuke being found by his friends is exactly the same in the anime, down to the angles. Also the scene of him being treated by Megumi, with Kaoru and Yahiko assisting her, is very close in the anime. That's how good the artwork is-it even translated perfectly to the screen. There's another great section where Sanosuke confronts Saito after he's back on his feet, and the part where Sano meets with Monk Anji and learns the Futae no Kiwami, a powerful fighting technique. There's also a touching scene where the ghost of Captain Sagara, the man Sano admired the most and from whom he took his name, visits Sanosuke.There's another color chapter towards the end where Kenshin reaches Kyoto, and we meet Makoto Shishio for the first time in this issue. As always, the VizBig edition is just that, BIG, with lots of room for the artwork. There are "Secret Life" sections on various villains and Hajime Saito, who was a real person and is not exactly a villain in Kenshin. Watsuki refers to him as someone who is allied with Kenshin but never becomes his friend. There's a cast of characters, a full table of contents, musings by Watsuki throughout the book, and a glossary at the end. There are also sections at the end with information about the Boshin War, the surrender of the Shogun, and the end and legacy of the Shinsengumi.

La mejor edición de este manga hasta la fecha, recomendado, un nuevo tomo para mi colección.

Rurouni Kenshin is one of my favorite mangas ever. Action and drama with a little bit of romance. The manga surpasses the anime. As a fan of both anime and fans, I would highly recommend this manga series. The quality of story and artistry surpasses most others I have come across. While it’s a series that’s been finished for over a decade, it’s amazing by any standards.

I loved the book, but I didn't like how the binding came undone.

Kenshin is my favorite anime, and I was really excited about buying all the manga, but I just could not find Vol 3 anywhere (and I looked EVERYWHERE). I am incredibly glad of having found it on Amazon, and I got it in excellent quality. It looked brand new, and it got to me quite fast. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

VIZBIG edition gives you more bang for your buck. sturdier book with better paper quality.

I had received this last night and just opened it this morning. This was supposed to be a new book. I just needed this one to finish my collection, but it came in creases and the binding is ripping. A chunk of the pages also were about to fall out. This is the first bad item I had received from amazon. I am very disappointed.

This manga is exactly what I was hoping for. Thanks to this my collection has grown. Thank you very much.

Awesome good quality, looks like the pictures, really good collection. Good quality low price.I will recomend this product to my friends

Volume 3 of the VIZBIG collections of Rurouni Kenshin sees the start of one of the best arcs in story telling. The story moves away from singular self contain stories to an episodic format that is amazingly told.Kenshin who has put his past behind him must once again face those demons as he is called back by the government to put down an evil force that is arising in Kyoto, that only he can defeat. Reluctantly, he accepts. New characters enter the mix, the stakes are higher and so is the drama. An amazing collection that any manga fan should own!

Si te gusta el manga shonen pero sin poderes estrafalarios, en un contexto un poco más realista, con un buen desarrollo de personajes, buen arte que sólo se vuelve más exquisita con el pasar de los números, buena historia del género romántico y una pisquita de romance (ojo, romance y romántico no son la misma cosa en literatura), está es la historia para ustedes.La maravilloso de formato Big Viz es que es una edición más grande y que compila tres tankobun en uno, por lo tanto lo vuelve más barato a la largaSi es que hay un pero, es que está en inglés y, que ha diferencia de las ediciones omnibus de Dark Horse, no contiene las portadas de los volúmenes originales ni ilustraciones extra a color.

Me encanta la edición, normalmente los 3-in-1 tienen pésima calidad pero los vizbig tienen una excelente! Las hojas son blancas y un poco gruesas, aparte incluye hojas a color cuando comienza cada tomo. Personalmente, prefiero está edición a cualquiera.

Ich kenne Kenshin bereits als Anime und muss sagen, dass mich auch der Manga nicht enttäuscht hat. So ist auch dieser Band der Serie sehr gut und empfehlenswert.
