Chronin Volume 1: The Knife at Your Back by Benjamin A. Wilgus
5.0
In the year 2045 time travel has already been around for some time, only accessible to an elite group of scholars. Now, they have begun opening that up to students, allowing them to travel back in time to assist in their research.
Mirai and Kuji were selected to join a group that travel back to Japan in the 1800s, and their research goes smoothly until the locals begin to take notice. Now they are both stuck in a time that is not their own, and they have to try and make it back to their own time without making too much of a mess of the past.
This was a very very good book. The illustrations fit the style of the story, though I do wish that color had been added. The story is great, full of mystery and suspense. Violence is very present throughout as this was a time of turmoil in Japanese history, but not so much that it ruins the story.
