Buso Renkin (武装錬金, Busō Renkin), literally "Weapon Alchemist") is a manga series written and drawn by Nobuhiro Watsuki, the creator of Rurouni Kenshin.
Buso Renkin was serialized in the weekly Japanese manga anthology Shonen Jump, with ten tankōbon volumes of it published so far in Japan. The series has been licensed by VIZ Media.
The story begins when high school student Kazuki Muto (武藤カズキ, Mutō Kazuki) is killed one night saving a mysterious girl from a monster, only to wake up and find it was only a dream. However, he soon finds out how real that dream was when a giant serpentine monster attacks him and his sister. Tokiko Tsumura (津村斗貴子, Tsumura Tokiko), the girl from his dream, explains that the monster is a homunculus. Kazuki had been attacked and killed by it when rescuing Tokiko, however the girl revived him by placing a kakugane medal in his chest.
The kakugane, Tokiko explains, is an alchemical device that when activated can give him the power to fight the homunculus monster. Using this, Kazuki creates his own buso renkin, an alchemic weapon in the form of a huge lance. Along with Tokiko and her own buso renkin, Kazuki joins the fight against the homunculus and their master.
Kazuki meets Victor and gets transformed into Victor's body form. He has six weeks to find a solution, while he gets pursued by Alchemy Assassination Team. Tokiko brings him to Newton's Apple University, where Tokiko found the black kakugane.
Buso Renkin ended in the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump 2005 No. 21, 22.
VIZ Media will release the official English version of Buso Renkin starting on August 1, 2006.
In Japan in Fall of 2006, the Buso Renkin manga will be adapted into an anime series.
The July 2006 issue of Shonen Jump U.S. featured a 53 page preview of the manga. The US version of Rurouni Kenshin Volume 28 (the final volume) contained a sneak preview of Buso Renkin
