Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan

In the eleventh year of Meiji, Kenshin Himura arrives in Tokyo carrying a reverse-blade sword made to spare lives rather than take them. Behind his gentle manner is a name veterans still fear: Hitokiri Battousai, the assassin who fought for the revolution before vanishing and swearing never to kill again. When Battousai's name is used to terrorize Kaoru Kamiya's dojo, Kenshin steps in and unexpectedly finds a place where he can stop wandering. A new home does not erase the war behind him, however, and every enemy who reaches into his past tests whether he can protect others without becoming the killer he abandoned.
