Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump serialized the manga from April 1994 to September 1999. The manga was adapted into an anime television series by Studio Gallop, Studio DEEN, and SPE Visual Works which aired in Japan from January 1996 to September 1998. The manga has sold over 72 million copies in circulation worldwide, making it one of the best-selling manga. 

In 2017 Watsuki and his wife, novelist/story collaborator Kaoru Kurosaki launched the Rurouni Kenshin: Hokkaido Arc manga in Shueisha’s Jump SQ magazine in September 2017. However, the series later went into hiatus after the author was charged with possession of child pornography. It resumed publication in June 2018.
