Sinopsis of Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan
It is the 16th year of the Meiji era. It has been five
years since Kenshin Himura stopped Makoto Shishio's uprising. Although the
flames of his fledgling revolution were extinguished, the scars left in his
wake are still felt throughout Japan. Remnants of his group still exist,
although scattered. Some have found peace, while others continue to fight.
After a remaining faction attempted to revive the revolution, Shishio's old
sword fell into the hands of Ashitarou Hasegawa, an orphan boy who has never
known a home. The conflict also leaves Aran Inoue, a 16-year-old half-Japanese
and half-American boy, and a mercenary girl named Asahi Kubota with a high
price to pay, with nowhere else to go.
But luckily for these individuals, the Kamiya dojo has
always been a place that accepts wanderers without delving into their pasts.
The three of them want to start over, so when two members of Asahi's former
clan show up demanding her return, she refuses and things start to get ugly.
Amid the chaos, the clan members drop a package containing a photo of Kaoru
Kamiya's dojo father, presumably deceased, and his location: Takodate,
Hokkaido. With only this information, the members of the Kamiya dojo embark on
an adventure across the sea in hopes of finding news about Kaoru's father and
the reason why he is pursuing him.
