I just picked up the first 2 volumes of his new Manga called "Buso Renkin" or "Armored Alchemist." Ownage! The main character's a High School Student who fights villains who look like they've come down with the Techno Organic Virus of X-Men Comics. Since I can't read Japanese, can anyone provide me with any info on this new Manga?

Yeah, Buso Renkin's the Title, according to the US editions of Rurouni Kenshin's Manga.

It sucks donkey balls.

You don´t need a translation. Believe me. Everything is a cliché.

Just add a lot of lines like "i want to be strong" and "i´ll do it because it´s the right thing to do" and you´re set.

Well, I like One Piece, Naruto, and Yu Yu, so I'll make sure not to value you're opinion. You are entitled not to like something, but I don't like reading people blatantly bashing things.

OK... this Thread's taken a strange turn... Now can someone tell me something about Buso Renkin like names of characters, the overall plot and stuff, or a Link of sorts that describes it?

And I like all the Shonen Jump Mangas mentioned except for One Piece, but I wouldn't call One Piece human excrement by any means.

It's a Kenshin special issue that shows one of Yahiko's adventures a few years after the Kenshin manga ends. I believe there's just the one issue (someone correct me if I'm wrong here).

It's a nice little story about Yahiko that's about 43 pages long. There were 2 extra stories after Kenshin ended. One of them was a short colored story called Haru ni Sakura and the other one was the Yahiko no Sakabatou. Feel free to inquire further if desired.

Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
It was about a sakura blossoming party that describes what happens to the characters after the ending of RK. It was just a couple of pages long but nice and colored.

SPOILER: It specifically addresses the fate of Saitou and Sano. Aoshi and Misao makes it to the party as well.

You can go here to read translations on both of those Kenshin Stories, and the history of the Shinsengumi, which most of the cast of Kenshin were based on.

You guys are welcome. I'm enjoying it so far!

Saiki - You mean from how his style was changed from when Kenshin first started or the later volumes? It looks a lot like the style he used in the later volumes of Kenshin to me, and I prefer that style to the earlier Kenshin Volumes. Personally I like the Techno Organicy Bio Metallic Villains myself in this new Manga.

Well, the designs are good, although a bit too much standard. However, the story so far sucks. But it's too soon to judge, this is only my first impressions.

I'm not really complaining about the change in style that much....
I'm complaining more about the fact that Watsuki's art itself has gotten simpler and quite a bit worse from an artistic point of view. His lines are so much more thicker than b4 and everything from clothing to scenery looks like it was done by a 12 year old kid

I did see Shishio's appearance in the Second Manga compilation of Busou Renkin, that was pretty funny!

Watsuki also worked on a Manga called Gun Blaze West but it only lasted one Manga Compilation Volume. Hopefully Busou Renkin will have a good run.

I am usually very lineant when it comes to this stuff, but from what I saw of Buso Renkin wasnt very good. It seems that it wants to be full metal x-men alchemist when it grows up. I mean, come on, the thing is called METAL ALCHEMIST and has HOMUNCULUS.

The word alchemist is so trendy these days.

Speaking of quality reading, hey Beto, where is that avatar from(!!!!?)

Ah, next week you'll all go back to kissing Watsuki's butt and thanking him for his character Designs in Samurai Showdown Zero. Joke guys, chill!

Hey, worse case scenario, if the new Manga fails, he can make the Manga I've been waiting for that tells what Sagara Sanosuke was doing when he traveled around the world. Sagara Sanosuke in the wild west, fighting Shanghai crooks, Shaolin Monks, Arabian Knights, Jack the Ripper, etc. Though I'm sure all the research of the time period would be a major pain in the Ass...

Or the much rumored Shinsengumi Manga they said he was going to do YEARS AGO would be cool too, as long as Harada Sanosuke is a lot like Sagara Sanosuke!

Oh, and did I mention, Watsuki is the Man!
