A theater will run special videos and the exhibit will be featured until June 2018. Part one of the exhibit celebrating series of the 80s will run from September 2018.
Unfortunately, the series creator of Rurouni Kenshin was arrested on child pornography charges and Shuiesha expressed great regret over this. The publisher is taking the matter very seriously and is still trying to figure out what it’s going to do with the currently in print volumes of Rurouni Kenshin. The series will still be featured in the exhibited unless announced otherwise.
