"Rurouni Kenshin" fans may have been heartbroken when the well-celebrated Japanese manga and anime series has concluded. But fortunately, mangaka Nobuhiro Watsuki has decided to gift fans with a new arc for its "Rurouni Kenshin" manga called the "Hokkaido Arc."

Watsuki has not revealed new details about the "Hokkaido Arc" yet but as per a report by Crunchyroll, the series will still see old "Rurouni Kenshin" characters but there will be a new enemy. Though nothing has been said about the new criminal, the plot will reportedly take place in Hokkaido as suggested by the title.
