Watsuki and his novelist wife/story collaborator Kaoru Kurosaki launched the Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc (Rurouni Kenshin, Meiji Kenkaku Romantan: Hokkaidō-hen) manga in Shueisha’s Jump SQ. magazine in September 2017.
Watsuki first launched his 28-volume Rurouni Kenshin manga in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1994.
The official Twitter account for the new television anime project based on Nobuhiro Watsuki’s Rurouni Kenshin manga revealed on Friday four new cast members who first appeared in the anime’s 24th and final episode.
The manga centers around Kenshin Himura, once a deadly assassin during the Meiji Restoration, who is trying to find a new life beyond violence.
