Kashimashi ~ Girl Meets Girl #1 by Satoru Akahori

Despite being Makoto’s age, she couldn’t be more different: Erio chooses to wrap herself in a futon all day rather than to go to school. Upon moving into his aunt’s house, he discovers the cousin he never knew about: Erio Touwa. However, as ordinary as he had imagined his adolescence to be, he could never have taken the existence of an enigmatic long-lost cousin into account. When his parents go overseas, he moves to a new town to live with his aunt, welcoming the change and ready for a fresh start. Makoto Niwa meticulously tallies the amount of positive and negative youthful experiences he engages in as if to grade his own life. However, as enemies from both past and present begin to emerge, will the reformed killer be able to uphold his new ideals? Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan tells the story of Kenshin as he strives to save those in need of saving. After receiving help from Kenshin, Kaoru allows him to stay at the dojo, and so the former assassin temporarily ceases his travels. One day, he stumbles across Kaoru Kamiya at her kendo dojo, which is being threatened by an impostor claiming to be Battousai. Vowing never to kill again, Kenshin dedicates himself to protecting the weak. Unbeknownst to them, Battousai has abandoned his bloodstained lifestyle in an effort to repent for his sins, now living as Kenshin Himura, a wandering swordsman with a cheerful attitude and a strong will. It has been ten peaceful years since then, but the very mention of Battousai still strikes terror into the hearts of war veterans. Feared as a merciless killer, he was unmatched throughout the country, but mysteriously disappeared at the peak of the Japanese Revolution.

In the final years of the Bakumatsu era lived a legendary assassin known as Hitokiri Battousai.
