i wonder if all of u feel the same; the love between tomoe & kenshin feels more beautiful than that between kenshin & kaoru. definitely a different feel. i got the feeling of a deeper, stronger love between tomoe and kenshin than i did with kenshin and kaoru. there were also other feelings, but i'm not sure how to describe them. do you think part of it could be because the story was built around kaoru and tomoe was just a flashback? shan

I'm at chapter 186, the end of volume 21, Shantara. The skull-faced member of Enishi's group (can't remember his name right now) is about to do something. Sano's fighting with the guy with the gauntlets, and Kenshin and Yahiko are facing the creepy thin guy with the poison darts.

@ Phil -> the battles are indeed intense. we get to see the wolf of Mibu in action too! Saitou is indeed a very interesting guy as he's not bad per se & not good either, so he would incline to whatever that suits his sense of justice.
as for the the baddies, u may find that u will empathise with some of them as their origins are revealed. Watsuki can really make good characters.
@ Shan & Sarah -> Tomoe is my fav female character in RK - both manga & anime (series & OVAs). some of u may find that Kaoru's character feels a bit flat compared to the rest but the manga has promises & i am happy to say that the OVA, Reflections, made it very obvious that Kaoru can be as beautiful a character as Tomoe.
a warning though; u should finish the manga first before attempting to watch Reflections. it's more final than the ending of the manga. but more beautiful.

chapter 186, volume 21, is the last I read. Though 22 should have come out so I'll get that as soon as I can get to the comic store. I can't wait!

I got 22 yesterday and loved it, as expected I'll wait until Sarah's read it before commenting, though.

Sarah, have you read any RK lately. I am really wondering what you guys think. I can hardly wait til you guys finish it, so we can talk about what you thought of it. Shan

I have RK 22, but haven't had a chance to read it. And looking ahead, volume 23 comes out this week. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up reading both at the same time. Just haven't had much time or energy to read. Lately, I've been getting home tired and just fall asleep. But I'll make sure to post once I have read them.
On a side note, I wonder what's up with Phil. He hasn't posted lately... I hope he's okay.

I would love to hear your thoughts Sarah once you've read them. I don't know for sure, because I don't talk to him like I use to, but I think Phil is really busy with being a mod at NarutoForum and an admin at MangaHelpers. I wonder if he still finds time to spend on MSN? ;D Shan

Yep I'm online all the time on MSN. I kind of have to be because it is the quickest way to keep in touch with the moderator team at both forums. They all have MSN as well.
Sarah is going to hate me, but I just couldn't wait. I've finished Rurouni Kenshin. And wow, it was GOOD. I was so completely shocked at one point - I'm sure you guys know what point I mean - but yeah, there was a good ending. Thank goodness.
Enishi is one bad dude.

yet his pain is very understandable.

His pain is understandable but at the same time he was probably responsible for a LOT of innocent people's deaths.

without a doubt, Phil. in his pain, he's blind to other people's feelings, therefore hurting them.

Ah, well. I'm not surprised that you couldn't wait Phil. Me, on the other hand, just doesn't have time to read them online so I have to wait for the trades. But I don't really mind. It's worth buying. I did finish RK 22 which ends with Yatsume Mumyoi (the guy the the freakishly long arms and legs) and Saito's return. I'm quite impressed by the fights with Sano and Yahiko. Yahiko made me proud! ^_^ As for the topic of Enishi, while I don't know the final outcome, I can already understand and sympathize with the character. He's obviously gone crazy with grief and loss, which has blinded him to how many innocent people he's killing. Of course it's because he's hurt so many people that I can't wait to see his defeat. So in the next week or so, I should get vol 23! Can't wait!

Hehe, sorry, Sarah ^^
Actually it's just as well I finished it, because at Mangahelpers.com some moron would have spoiled something for me if I had not just finished RK the night before. Had to ban the guy for 3 days, though, as he DID spoil it for some other readers.
I'm constantly at risk of being spoiled on several series so it's something I'm used to, but I'm particularly glad in this case that I was able to finish RK just in time. ^^
Oh, and Vols. 23-24 you WILL be amazed, Sarah =O

Sarah, i couldn't agree more. Yahiko has grown so much & he is indeed an amazing young man. he is indeed tokyo's last samurai.

I really felt sorry for Enishi. He has lost so much and is in so much grief that he doesn't know how to handle it except by trying to get revenge. His is a very sad situation. I cried off and on throughout his whole story. Even at the story's end, I still felt sorry for him. Shan
