Publication

In January 2014, Nobuhiro Watsuki's novelist wife, Kaworu Kurosaki, revealed at her Otakon Vegas panel that Watsuki was preparing a spin-off manga centered on Rurouni Kenshin enemy characters. Kurosaki invited the panel's audience to suggest which characters should get the spotlight, and she would give the suggestions to Watsuki.[1] In April 2014, it was reveled that the spin-off manga would be about Shishio Makoto,[2] and it was later specified that it would be about how Shishio met Komagata Yumi and formed the Juppongatana.[3] The manga was published in two parts in Shueisha's Jump Square; the first was published on July 4, 2014,[3] [4] and the second on September 4 of that same year.[5] Shueisha collected the chapters in a single volume, under the Jump Comics SQ. imprint, on October 3, 2014; the volume also includes the story, written by Kaworu Kurosaki.[6]

In North America, Viz Media published the chapters in English in their Weekly Shonen Jump digital magazine.[7] [8] [9]
