One complaint in Hollywood is the endless number of comic book related films, spare a thought for Japan. Much of the nation's culture is based alot of what they read as well as watch and the land of the rising sun anime, manga are MASSIVE! So no surprise the latest manga to join the live action ranks is Nobuhiro Watsuki's samurai manga RUROUNI KENSHIN(Samurai X).
