The stage musical of the “Kyoto Arc” of Nobuhiro Watsuki’s Rurouni Kenshin manga will open at the IHI Stage Around Tokyo from May 17 to June 24.
The Rurouni Kenshin Saishūshō The Final live-action film opened in Japan in April 2021, and the Rurouni Kenshin Saishūshō The Beginning live-action film opened in Japan in June 2021.
The manga has since been adapted into a 95-episode TV anime series, an anime film, three original video anime projects, five live-action films, and a stage musical by the all-female musical theater troupe Takarazuka Revue.
Watsuki first launched his 28-volume Rurouni Kenshin manga in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1994.
