Nobuhiro Watsuki’s Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story classic shōnen manga announced a new anime project at today’s Jump Festa 2022.
Liden Films is animating the new anime. A teaser PV has been revealed for the announcement. But details are yet to be revealed.
The manga was serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine from April 1994 to September 1999. The chapters have been collected into 28 tankōbon volumes, while years later it was reprinted into twenty-two kanzenban volumes. In 2017, Watsuki began a direct sequel titled Rurouni Kenshin: The Hokkaido Arc in Jump Square.
Studio Gallop, Studio Deen and SPE Visual Works adapted the manga into an anime television series, which aired in Japan from January 1996 to September 1998. Besides an animated feature film, two series of original video animations (OVAs) were also produced.
