Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story — The Hokkaido Arc（日语：るろうに剣心 ─明治剣客浪漫譚・北海道編─，Rurōni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Roman Tan Hokkaidō-hen） is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Nobuhiro Watsuki. His wife, Kaworu Kurosaki, is credited as a story consultant. It is a direct sequel to Rurouni Kenshin and follows Himura Kenshin and his friends in 1883 Japan as they traverse Hokkaido in search of his father-in-law.

It has been serialized monthly in Jump Square since September 4, 2017, with the chapters collected into seven tankōbon volumes by its publisher Shueisha, as of May 2022. North American publisher Viz Media released the series digitally in Weekly Shonen Jump（英语：Weekly Shonen Jump (American magazine)） simultaneously as it ran in Japan until November 2017.

Plot[编辑]

In 1883, Himura Kenshin, having married Kamiya Kaoru, became a father to Himura Kenji and, with his body deteriorating, still fights for those in need. Former criminals Inoue Aran and Hasegawa Ashitaro, the latter a former member of Shishio Makoto's faction, have become live-in students at the Kamiya Dojo in Tokyo. Kubota Asahi, a member of the Yaminobu, also starts living at the dojo. The Yaminobu accidentally left behind a recent photograph taken in Hokkaido of Kaoru's father, Kamiya Koshijirō, who was thought to have died in the Seinan War. After reacquiring his sakabatō or reversed-edge sword from Myōjin Yahiko（英语：Myōjin Yahiko）, Kenshin, his family, and the new residents of Kamiya Dojo head to Hokkaido to find Koshijirō.

There they reunite with Sagara Sanosuke and team up with Saitō Hajime（英语：Saitō Hajime (Rurouni Kenshin)） when they get involved in stopping the mysterious group named Kenkaku Heiki, who create havoc throughout Japan in order to gain battle experience to protect the country from foreign threats. Saitō recruits his former comrade Nagakura Shinpachi and former Juppongatana members Seta Sōjirō（英语：Seta Sōjirō）, Yūkyūzan Anji, Sawagejō Chō, Honjō Kamatari and Kariwa Henya to aid them.

Characters[编辑]

Himura Kenshin（緋村剣心）
主条目：Himura Kenshin
The former legendary assassin known as Hitokiri Battōsai, Kenshin now lives a peaceful life with his family. His body is deteriorating due to the continuous usage of the Hiten Mitsurugi style of swordsmanship. After being given back his sakabatō from Myōjin Yahiko（英语：Myōjin Yahiko）, Kenshin continues to protect the weak for as long as his body will hold up.
Hasegawa Ashitarō（長谷川明日郎）
An orphaned 16-year-old boy just released from prison. Born in Niigata Prefecture, he survived by stealing crops and foraging the mountains. Although claiming to have served five years in a Tokyo prison for dine and dash, it is suspected to have been for being a gofer（英语：gofer） member of Shishio Makoto's faction, which planned to take over Japan before disbanding when their leader died five years ago. He possesses Shishio's sword, Mugenjin, but due to his propensity for entering uncontrolled fits of rage, Kenshin asks him not to draw it. Ashitaro's given name was formerly written as 悪太郎 ("evil child"), before he changed it to 明日郎 ("tomorrow's child").
Inoue Aran（井上阿爛）
A 16-year-old boy who grew up in the Westernized portion of Japan. He was jailed in Tokyo for three months for attempting to be a stowaway（英语：stowaway） on a ship to the Americas. He is revealed to be half-Japanese with blond hair and suspected to be the son of a prostitute to foreigners.
Kubota Asahi（久保田旭）
A war orphan raised by the Yaminobu but claims to be a pacifist. Following their failure to kill Kenshin during the Bakumatsu, the Yaminobu lost status and were reduced to working as mercenaries for hire. Kubota was hired to Shishio's faction and later trailed Ashitaro to retrieve Shishio's sword.
Kenkaku Heiki（劍客兵器）
A mysterious group who claim to have been initially formed by ancestors in the Kamakura period who stopped the Mongol invasions of Japan. Having stayed hidden for over 500 years, they take over Mount Hakodate and launch other attacks in Japan in order to gain battle experience to fend off future foreign invasions.

Production[编辑]

In the final tankōbon volume of the original Rurouni Kenshin, published in November 1999, Nobuhiro Watsuki said that he had ideas for a "Hokkaido episode, a sequel" but wanted to start a new manga and so ended the series.[1] In September 2012, Watsuki revealed that he considered drawing the Hokkaido arc before creating Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration（英语：Rurouni Kenshin: Restoration）. But with the theme of the series concluded in the final arc of the original and unable to come up with a new one, he said that there was "just no way" he could write it.[2] In July 2013, following the positive reception of the live-action film and the conclusion of Restoration, Watsuki said although Rurouni Kenshin concluded once over ten years ago, "there are many requests for its continuation both from the creator and fans. Then why not continue expanding its world for a little while longer? That's how I feel at the moment." Although he said he had not yet decided if he would write it as a manga again.[3]

On November 4, 2016, Watsuki began a two chapter spinoff titled Rurouni Kenshin Side Story: The Ex-Con Ashitaro（-るろうに剣心・異聞- 明日郎 前科アリ，Rurouni Kenshin Ibun: Ashitarō Zenka Ari） in the December 2016 issue of the monthly Jump Square.[4] His wife, Kaworu Kurosaki, is credited as story consultant.[5] The second chapter, published on December 2, 2016, revealed that the story is actually a prologue to a new arc of Rurouni Kenshin scheduled to begin in spring 2017.[6] Delayed until summer,[7] Rurouni Kenshin: The Hokkaido Arc began publication on September 4, 2017, in the October 2017 issue of Jump Square.[8] In order to promote the series, multiple posters of Kenshin were on display in Shinjuku Station.[9]

On November 21, 2017, Watsuki was charged with possession of child pornography. That same day, Shueisha suspended publication of new chapters of The Hokkaido Arc beginning with the January 2018 issue, which was released on December 4, 2017.[10] The manga resumed serialization in the July 2018 issue, released on June 4, 2018.[11] The series began a two month hiatus with the July 2021 issue that went on sale in June, and returned in August with the September 2021 issue.[12]

Publication[编辑]

The two-parts of Rurouni Kenshin Side Story: The Ex-Con Ashitaro were published on November 4 and December 2, 2016 in Shueisha's Jump Square.[4] Rurouni Kenshin: The Hokkaido Arc began monthly publication in the same magazine on September 4, 2017.[8] Shueisha has collected the chapters into individual tankōbon volumes. The first volume was released on September 4, 2018.[13] As of May 2, 2022, seven volumes have been released.

Viz Media released an English translation of The Ex-Con Ashitaro in their digital Weekly Shonen Jump（英语：Weekly Shonen Jump (American magazine)） magazine. The first part was included in the December 19, 2016 bonus issue and the second in the January 2, 2017 bonus issue.[14] On September 4, 2017, they began simultaneously publishing The Hokkaido Arc in the magazine as it ran in Japan.[15][16] Following Watsuki's being charged, Viz did not continue English publication when the series resumed in Japan,[17] making the November 6, 2017 issue its last.[18]
