This Wednesday, an exciting announcement was made: A new anime TV adaptation of Nobuhiro Watsuki's manga Rurouni Kenshin is set to premiere in July. To heighten anticipation, images of the four main characters were revealed.
The series will star Sōma Saitō as Kenshin Himura and Rie Takahashi as Kaoru Kamiya in the lead roles. Additional cast members include Taku Yashiro as Sanosuke Sagara and Makoto Koichi as Yahiko Myojin. The upcoming anime will be a readaptation of the main manga series.
Hideyo Yamamoto will direct at LIDEN FILMS, while Terumi Nishii is in charge of character design and Hideyuki Kurata is handling series composition. Yū Takami is responsible for the music composition.
Nobuhiro Watsuki and his wife, novelist and story collaborator Kaoru Kurosaki, launched the manga Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc in 2017. However, the manga was put on hold in December 2017 after Watsuki was charged with possession of child pornography. The series resumed publication in June 2018, with Shueisha releasing the eighth compiled volume in January.
