Where Does The Rurouni Kenshin Anime End In The Manga?

Despite what has been revealed about the author, Rurouni Kenshin was once a legendary series that held a fond place in a lot of people’s hearts. In this age of remaking replacing creative original thought, at least Rurouni Kenshin was a good candidate for it due to the occasional slap-dash nature of the original anime adaptation.

If you are a fan of the original Rurouni Kenshin anime and looking to pick up the manga story, the simplest answer on where to do so would be Chapter 151.

This includes if you watched the Samurai X OVAs as well, which cover Chapters 165 through 171 with the Samurai X Reflection OVA offering a sad, non-canon ending to Kenshin’s story. It also includes the highly abridged New Kyoto Arc OVA that just remake the titular Kyoto arc to be more like the manga.

The original Rurouni Kenshin anime weeble-wobbled back and forth between being a great adaptation and terrible one. It became particularly bad when it indulged in the old school shounen tradition of throwing in filler in order to not catch up to the manga as quickly. So it becomes an increasingly larger mess the longer you watch.

Now, the 2023 Rurouni Kenshin remake has had the great benefit of time. This means it follows the manga more diligently, though not without its own problems that often stem from being compared to the original anime.

If you watched the 2023 remake of Rurouni Kenshin and wish to continue the story in the manga, you can start at Chapter 58.
