During the Meiji 11th (1878), a peaceful wanderer called Himura Kenshin, formerly known as the Hitokiri Battōsai (Refers to someone who has mastered battōjutsu), arrives in Tokyo, where he meets Kamiya Kaoru whose swordsmanship school is in danger as a murderer from the city claims to be from that school. After investigating, Kenshin defeats the murderer using his sakabatō sword, which has a reversed blade, making it almost impossible to kill someone. When Kenshin decides to leave Tokyo, Kaoru offers him a place to live in her dojo. During his stay in the dojo, Kenshin rescues an orphan called Myōjin Yahiko from a group of yakuza and takes him to live and train in the dojo. A few days later, a fight merchant named Sagara Sanosuke is hired to attack Kenshin. The volume ends with a one-shot by Nobuhiro Watsuki called; "Rurouni Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story".
