The original manga, Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc, was serialized in Shueisha's Jump SQ magazine in September 2017 by Watsuki and his wife, novelist Kaoru Kurosaki. The manga was briefly put on hold in December 2017 after Watsuki faced legal issues, but publication resumed in June 2018.
The Rurouni Kenshin manga debuted in 1994 in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and has since sold over 72 million copies worldwide.
