Good Story

While this one isn't nearly as good as the artist's other work (Rouroni Kenshin), Buso Renkin is a good story. The art is very well done and the characters are likeable enough that you want to see more of them. The only problem is the plot, it falls a bit short in places and the "bad guy" along with his group of pals gets most of your sympathy. I really felt more drama coming from the bad guys than the good guys.
