Warning: SPOILERS!!!!
There are several things I like about the VizBig edition. One is that it's big. It's a large sized book, which really shows the artwork and the loving care that Nobuhiro Watsuki put into the drawings of the various characters. It's also a three-in-one, so you get Kenshin's meeting with Kaoru and you go all the way to Kenshin, Sanosuke, and Yahiko's attack on Kanryuu's mansion. It's printed on good quality paper, and while it is a paperback, the covers are very heavy paper, with a beautiful full-color portrait of Kenshin on the cover, an interesting black and white and red picture of him on the spine, and a drawing of Kaoru in black and white and pink on the back. There is a table of contents in the beginning, along with a full cast of characters who make their appearance in this edition. Each character has their picture and a short description.
You also get notes from Watsuki. He has a page on each character's "Secret Life" in which he talks about inspirations for the character and real historical people they were based on. In this volume, you get the secret lives of Kenshin, Kaoru, Sanosuke and his beloved captain Sozo Sagara, and several villains. The volume starts with a chapter in full color, and there is a bonus chapter of one of Kenshin's first appearances, before Rurouni Kenshin really got off the ground. The volume has a glossary at the end of the Meiji Restoration and includes many terms in the manga, and concludes with a brief description of what's coming in the next volume.

Great series. Fun, lighthearted and action packed.
Out of Print as of writing (may 15th 2018). Fantastic series, Vizbig editions are always a treat with nice quality paper, 1 or 2 chapters in color per book and a nice condensed way to collect some of the longer manga series.Art is clean crisp and easy to follow combat. Fun characters and despite it being about a samurai called "The Man Slayer" this series is family friendly as it isn't gory and is about him redeeming himself by vowing to never take another life and fighting with a reversed blade sword after the atrocities he had seen and committed in the war.I would like to give a special acknowledgment to Seattle Goodwill, who sold it used "good" condition for 11 shipped (not the OoP prices some are asking) and it honestly looks "Like new" as any dmg (maybe a corner isnt 100% straight) is from it merely existing as a book for years. I am extremely happy with my order as they had quick turn around and shipped it out same business day. Would buy from them again :]
