Written by Kaoru Shizuka

Review by Tom Good

This novel based on the Rurouni Kenshin manga actually consists of two separate stories, each involving a different work of art. In the first story, the swordsman Kenshin and his friends try to recover a stolen copy of Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon, and in the second the plot revolves around a woodblock print called a nishiki-e. Both tie into the history and politics of Japan. Both are also new stories, not rewritten episodes from the manga, which ended its run last summer. [more]
