Buso Renkin

Nobuhiro Watsuki, the creator of Rurouni Kenshin, brings his signature blend of action and supernatural adventure to this 10-issue Viz series, co-written with Mayumi Kobayashi. The story follows Kazuki Muto, a high school student who becomes the wielder of a mystical weapon called a Buso Renkin after a fatal encounter with a monstrous Homunculus. With art by Watsuki and James Gaubatz, the series explores a secret war between alchemically powered warriors and the creatures they hunt, delivering fast-paced battles and Watsuki’s trademark character-driven drama. This compact run offers a complete, self-contained tale that stands as a distinct, energetic entry in early 2000s manga-influenced comics.
