Yo. Since I haven't seen the all of the anime for Peacemaker, I can't really say. I read volume 2&3 of Peace Maker Kurogane but some how missed volume 1 and I can't find it. So will some one give me a heads up please. Spank ou. Over and out. ;D

There are 2 Peacemaker manga series. Most of the anime is based on the Shinsengumi Imon Peacemaker series where Tetsu first joins the group. The second manga series Peacemaker Kurogane carries on the story from when the anime ended.
I don't know where to get the first series. I got the second series books from my local newstand.

I figured it started from the end, but yea, they don't sell the first series where I live, I just have 1 and 3, VERY LOST! ^^;; Your best bet is to just get the first one off ebay, thats what I did, I got the third one at a bookstore...=^-^=

Mou, Me too... I want to read the SIP series but none of the stores here have it. Not even the Taiwanese version. My PMK series is in Mandarin. The mood is very different from the anime. Darker.

One interesting note on the anime. They mixed incidents from both series & threw in filler episodes like the race.
Ryouma did not approach Tatsu until after Ikeda-ya. So all the Ryouma-Tatsu interactions are from the 2nd series.
Also, Tetsu walked in on Saitou Hajime 'challenging' Okita in the 2nd manga series for the first time. In the anime I think it was one of the earlier episodes.

Wow! I've wanted to read the SIP series too! BUt they don't have that at my bookstore, niether of them. So I gave up. And by the way, I won't ever buy anything from EBAY because I don't trust them. Even though you can get just about eveything from EBAY. Maybe I just have trust issues.

Update: there are currently 5 volumes to the PMK manga series. Chrono Nanase sensei has taken time off the series for the moment. We'll left at a major cliffhanger.

Hey!
I know this is late (very). But for those who are itching to read SIP manga (as I have been for the longest time), and who don't mind reading it in chinese, there is this older edition under the name of Dao1 Hun2 (Sword Spirit would probably be the best translation I can think offhand). I just read it a few weeks ago. I feel the love!
For those who can read Japanese (which is fantastic!), they have recently published a new edition under MagGarden. It is slightly different from the older one: lines are cleaner, less gritty. May be better or worse depending on how you look at it.
There are five books in the series for the newer edition and six in the chinese one.
Well, that's about all I know for now. Hope it's useful.
