In September 2017, Nobuhiro Watsuki and his wife, Kaoru Kurosaki, collaborated on the Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc (Rurouni Kenshin, Meiji Kenkaku Romantan: Hokkaido-hen) manga, which was serialized in Shueisha's Jump SQ. magazine. However, the manga went on hiatus in December 2017 after Watsuki faced charges related to possession of child pornography. The series resumed publication in June 2018.

Viz Media had been actively publishing the English version of the Rurouni Kenshin manga simultaneously. However, publication was halted after the manga went on hiatus in 2017.


Nobuhiro Watsuki initially launched the Rurouni Kenshin manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1994. With over 72 million copies in circulation worldwide, the manga has garnered significant acclaim. The story revolves around Kenshin Himura, a former deadly assassin during the Meiji Restoration, who seeks to forge a new life free from violence.


The manga's popularity led to various adaptations, including a 95-episode TV anime series, an anime film, three original video anime projects, five live-action films, and even a stage musical performed by the renowned all-female musical theater troupe Takarazuka Revue.
