Watsuki and his novelist wife/story collaborator Kaoru Kurosaki launched the Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc (Rurouni Kenshin, Meiji Kenkaku Romantan: Hokkaido-hen) manga in Shueisha’s Jump SQ. magazine last September.
Watsuki first launched his 28-volume Rurouni Kenshin manga in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1994.
The official website of Shueisha’s Jump SQ. magazine announced on Monday that Nobuhiro Watsuki’s Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc manga will resume in the magazine’s July issue on June 4.
The manga went on hiatus last December following Watsuki being charged for possession of child pornography.
