Titled Rurouni Kenshin Ibun – Ashitaro Zenka Ari (“Rurouni Kenshin Rumor – Tomoro with the Criminal Record”), the plot doesn’t center on Kenshin, despite his top billing, although it is set in the Rurouni Kenshin world.
Now he’s about to do so again with a brand-new Rurouni Kenshin spinoff manga that’s just about to hit store shelves in Japan.

Creator Nobuhiro Watsuki takes readers back to Japan’s Meiji period for a tale of criminals and treasure.
