So far I'm interested and I have no idea what's going on. Manga is so much better stoned. I was hoping it would stay full colour but it dropped back to black and white about 30 pages in.

So far this is quite entertaining. I always love fresh stories. It makes me wonder why I don't read new ones more often.

Chapter 4

-What even is the name of the black haired bitch? Lol. And how is she so OP.
-lmao, 40 of these drunk bandits just happen to appear at the dojo chasing after a couple kids.
-LOL these Hishimanji just pull a fucking cannon out of their ass? Pardon me?
-I still don't understand what these "eras" are, I know it was briefly explained at the start, but damn. I'm confused.
-Of course Kenshin arrives to save the day. That's like the 3rd time already that he's shown up at the perfect time.
-Kenshin smashed their cannon ball with his sword.. why is this guy so OP

 

[Papasmurf]

It was explained it was a wooden cannon but yeah, it's still fired off with gunpowder so it's BS

 

[SSJ2]

They said it had comparable power to a real cannon lol

 

[Papasmurf]

Well I think that's BS, why wouldn't they just use wooden cannons instead of wasting metal then lmao.

 

[SSJ2]

Chapter 5:

-Whoever this new character is is pretty cool. Knocked out one of these drunk fucks with one finger.
-Lol the back out his outfit says "Evil". I don't think they even said his name.
-Ah, so his name is Zanza.
-Zanza vs Kenshin upcoming? Should be interesting.

 

[SSJ2]

Well I think that's BS, why wouldn't they just use wooden cannons instead of wasting metal then lmao.

Durability perhaps. Don't really have anything else.

 

[SSJ2]

Chapter 6

-Zanza is challenging Kenshin to a battle right now.
-So far all I've gathered is that both of them are very strong fighters.

If we're talking about things such as the Meiji Era and the like, I'll offer a quick history lesson.

The Edo Period (1603 - 1868) was the period in which Japan was controlled by the Tokugawa Shogunate, essentially acting as the rulers of the country and the Emperor being a figurehead. The Shogunate also allowed Samurai to have special privileges, such as being able to kill peasants for getting in their way without being reprimanded. Because of this, most Samurai fought against the Imperial army when they tried to end the Tokugawa Shogunate and restore all authority to the Imperial family. The victory of the Imperial army against the Tokugawa supporters, which lead into the Meiji era (1868 - 1912). Some rebel forces still persisted after this, such as Saigo Takamori, but they were entirely defeated towards the end of 1877 at the battle of Shiroyama.

-Kenshin smashed their cannon ball with his sword.. why is this guy so OP

Battle Shonen logic. The OP'd nature of characters in this otherwise historical setting can be a little immersion breaking at times, though not by enough to damage the quality of the story, plus they never go into full on superpowered ridiculousness beyond having superhuman strength/speed.
