Rurouni Kenshin, by Nobuhiro Watsuki [manga]
by Marina, 8th grader
Rurouni Kenshin is about a wandering samurai with a hidden past. He’s kind, unselfish, and is trying to undo his past as the Hitokiri Battosai, the well
-known and feared assassin. He meets friends whom he protects and vows to never kill again, to repent for his past. I can’t much more, or I’ll spoil it, but it’s a must read.

I never read the manga. Season 1 & 2 of the series was based on them, and were pretty strong. Season 3 was not and is weaker by many’s reckoning.
Here is my take on the series with lots o’ pics if you are interested:
