The anime movie Rurouni Kenshin: Requiem for the Ishin Patriots, is also not part of any arc, and neither are the Samurai X: Reflection and Shin Kyoto Hen OVAs.

The total number of Rurouni Kenshin arcs

As you can see, the overall structure of the Rurouni Kenshin manga is quite simple, as there are four main narrative arcs and a small mini-arc, the Remembrances Arc. If you add to that the five arcs that appeared in the original anime adaptations, the Rurouni Kenshin series consists of a total of 10 narrative arcs, five of which are canon, and five of which are anime-original arcs.

In what order should you follow Rurouni Kenshin?

Fans of Rurouni Kenshin will need to start with the first volume of the manga, but they will then have to follow the release order of all the chapters to normally follow the evolution of the plot. It’s a lot of material, but the best way to approach it is to simply follow the release order, as it coincides with the evolution of the plot. The Remembrances Arc is a flashback arc, so it is basically a prequel to the Tokyo Arc, but since it’s small, you don’t really have to read it before the original arc, as it won’t ruin the experience. If you’re watching the anime, just follow the episodes according to their release dates.
