Summary

Volume 3 of Rurouni Kenshin: Complete Edition continues the story set in early Meiji-era Tokyo. This volume centers on the female physician Takani Megumi: as the only person who knows the refining method for the new type of opium known as "Spider's Web," she is confined and controlled by the industrialist Kanryu. To free Megumi from Kanryu's control, Himura Kenshin, along with Myojin Yahiko and Sagara Sanosuke, heads to the Kanryu estate and faces off against the Oniwabanshu, the covert operative group led by Shinomori Aoshi. This volume collects the assault on the Kanryu residence and the chapters involving the Oniwabanshu, serving as the key concluding portion of the "Kanryu arc." The Complete Edition features newly drawn covers and frontispiece illustrations based on the original serialized version, includes the "Kenshin Repenciled" manuscripts, fully reproduces the color pages, and adds a bonus short story at the end. This is Volume 3 of the series and should be read after the first two volumes.

Editor's review

「观柳篇」在本册迎来高潮,剑心一行闯入观柳宅,与四乃森苍紫和御庭番众正面交手。这个篇章既是少年漫画分战场对战的典型写法,也为后续苍紫与剑心的关系埋下伏笔;御庭番众几页之间的分镜,就把成员之间的羁绊交代得很清楚。完全版的价值在于它全新绘制的封面、卷头插画与「剑心再笔」手稿,以及彩页的完整还原,阅读体验远好于普通单行本;对已经看过连载版、想收藏的读者,这是一部值得收藏的实体书。文化传信港版为繁体中文、25开本,纸感与印刷都不错,但定价偏高,购买前需确认版本与册数。

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • 正在追《浪客剑心》漫画、已读完前两册的读者
  • 喜欢明治维新背景与剑客题材的少年漫画读者
  • 想收藏完全版(新绘封面、彩页还原)的漫画爱好者
  • 对御庭番众、四乃森苍紫等配角感兴趣的人

Not a good fit for

  • 未读过前两册、首次接触本作的读者(会被剧情打断在前)
  • 完全不接受刀剑格斗与流血画面的低龄读者
  • 只想要中文简体版、对繁体港版排版不适应的读者

Reading tips

  1. 先读完完全版第1、2册,弄清高荷惠与观柳篇的起因,再进入本册。
  2. 留意剑心「不杀」信念在本册冲突中的表现,这是全篇的核心主题之一。
  3. 卷末的短篇与正文故事调性不同,可当作附加福利单独阅读。
  4. 若对御庭番众感兴趣,可继续读第4册,观察苍紫的后续变化。

FAQ

这本是完全版第3册还是普通单行本第3卷?
这是《浪客剑心 完全版》第3册,由和月伸宏创作,文化传信2007年8月出版,ISBN 9789628965854,共约227页。完全版重绘封面、还原彩页,与本作原版单行本的第3卷并不等同。
没看过前两册能直接读这本吗?
不建议。本册是高荷惠与观柳篇的收束部分,角色关系和事件起因都在前两册铺垫,直接阅读会对高荷惠的处境、剑心与观柳的冲突来由感到突兀。
本册主要内容是什么?
围绕被观柳控制的女医师高荷惠展开:她掌握新型鸦片「蜘蛛网」的精制方法,剑心、弥彦、左之助为救她闯入观柳宅,与四乃森苍紫率领的御庭番众交锋。
文化传信版和内地的版本有区别吗?
文化传信版为香港出版的繁体中文版,2007年起陆续推出22册;内地另有中信出版集团等版本。购买时请核对出版社与册数,避免把续作或其他版本当成同一本。
