Oh, you're new to the series? That's awesome. Rurouni Kenshin has been my favorite for a very long time. I'll be careful not to spoil anything, then. It's a really great series. ^^
You have awesome taste.

Yeah, the first two seasons was the stuff. It was all nicely put together. I heard so many bad reviews of the third season that I never actually watched it.
I plan on watching the anime a little while after reading it, since I heard that's also amazing @_@
The first arc (Wandering Samurai) is great for introduction and the second (Legend of Kyoto) is the best the series has to offer. Both stay true to the manga and I'm confident you'll enjoy them if you're enjoying the reading. The third arc is pretty crappy though. It's all filler that focuses on some kind of religious nonsense while it should be covering the Jinchu saga. You probably have no idea what I'm talking about but you'll understand once you get there. Just thought I'd give you a fair warning so you're not totally clueless when you get to the Meiji episodes and start WTF-ing. ._.

That's the best way to read anything. =D
Haha, yeah. I remember I was in junior high when I first picked up the series. My school library had the first twelve volumes, but that was back when the manga was still coming out. I had to wait a month for each volume after 13.
And yes, the anime is amazing! I really hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for not spoiling!
I always avoid everything. Videos, images, even peoples' reactions. Names of characters, names of arcs. When I read/watch things I like to be totally oblivious. Zero expectations!
I just started reading a few months ago - I've been relatively slow with this one. Reading it at the suggestion of Dash the Stampede since it's one of his favorites. I'm enjoying it so far! It also helps that my library has all of the actual books, which makes the experience better for me.
