New Rurouni Kenshin manga

[flonnebonne]

So the Watsuki Nobuhiro has started an AU version of Rurouni Kenshin:

Only two chapters so far. There's also an episode zero, but I haven't seen a translated version yet.

From what I hear, it's not the same story as the live-action movie version that was recently released.

I don't keep up on anime/manga news, so I am usually the last to know about these things. :/

It's meant to stir up a sense of nostalgia, but it's mainly just trampling all over it. And I can't imagine people who have never read/watched the series before will like it. Too many characters all at once. I'll probably keep reading, though, since I'm a sucker.
