OMG! OMG! OMG!

 

 

Okay, to clarify.. that's the American Shounen Jump.  In Japan it's being published in Jump Square which only comes out once a month.  So it'll be a while before we get the whole story this time lol.  Still, I'm excited.  I can't believe I'll be reading new Kenshin material from the original author in 2017.  That's amazing.

The first chapter is out.  I haven't read it in English yet.  Viz is translating it and it costs $1 per issue that it appears in (unless you want to pay for a year sub but keep in mind Kenshin only appears once a month so unless you're interested in the other manga it might not be worth it). 

 

Here's the issue for the first chapter.

Viz has made the first chapter of the Hokkaido Arc free for viewing.  So if you haven't already bought it/read it, go check it out:

Well 2017 just took a dark and awful turn.

 

 

Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc Manga Goes On Hiatus Due to Creator's Child Porn Charge

 

Rurouni Kenshin manga artist, Nobuhiro Watsuki has been charged for possession of child pornography

 

 

Yeaaaaaaaaaaah. That's it for him.  Sheuisha will probably pretend Kenshin doesn't exist starting today.  It's also going to be very hard to separate Watsuki from his work.  Every time someone brings up Kenshin from here on out this is what's going to pop into your mind...and that sucks.  The story on Kenshin is fantastic, quite possibly one of the best ever told (perfectly blending history and fiction), and it really sucks that the awfulness of the author is going to taint that forever.

 

So yeah...  Welp.  RIP.  It was a nice series while it lasted.

Oh man... that's just so much lulz.

 

I wouldn't have even thought that was possible considering you really don't see that in Kenshin either. Just so many things coming out now, like all the Hollywood lulz.

Wow.. that really sucks. Maybe another author will take up the reigns kind of like with DB super, or Naruto. (although probably lacking any input from the original author.)
