It’s been announced that Watsuki Nobuhiro’s epic manga, “Rurouni Kenshin -Meiji Kenkaku Romantan-“, will restart its serialization through the June issue of Jump SQ (which will be released in May).
“Rurouni Kenshin” got serialized through Weekly Shonen Jump in 1994, and it became so popular that it got an anime adaptation in 1996.
