I hope it's a sequel about Kenji going around butchering people and Shinya (Yahiko and Tsubame's son) having to stop him.

I personally, don't mind it. It's a great way to introduce old series to the newer generation. I look forward to the new Kenshin! |

It should be a good read provided they don't re-hash older stories and plot points. I have to wonder though if they will eventually reboot the anime series as well, even with the new OVA's coming out.

as the artical says, the coming chapters may not be a "reboot" in the english sense, so I wouldn't hold out on it being a remake/sequal.
Personally, my money's on a side-story of some kind |

Well, I should have mentioned that I just hope it drums up interest enough to see an adaptation of the Jinchu arc. And again, we GOT Kenshin's past as the Battousai during the Bakumatsu. There wouldn't be any point in going back to that again. |

I don't know what to say about this, except it came out of nowhere. 12 years after the manga ended he'll be going back to it.
Nice how Kenshin is starting to be all over the place 15 years after the anime started. We had the BD's, the live-action movie announced, the new Kyoto arc adaption, and now Nobuhiro Watsuki returning to the manga. Don't know what to say really, despite the fact I became a big Kenshin fan this year. What was I missing out on all those years ago? 
I still have yet to read the manga (I've only seen Trust & Betrayal, Reflection, and the first 75 episodes of the TV series.), so I don't know how this will turn out. Also, can someone enlighten me on what the Jinchuu arc is? |

I have faith in Watsuki that he'll do good things with the series. It's kinda unbelievable after 12 years, no one ever suspected it...

The Jinchuu arc is the final arc of the manga. It came after the Kyoto arc and was where we learned about Tomoe, Enishi in the manga. It was never properly adapted in an anime because the anime caught up too fast to it, which is why in the TV series we got all those crazy filler arcs after Kyoto. The OVAs adapted the part about Kenshin's past but only gave us bare minimum of the actual arc itself. That's why people want the actual arc adapted, because we have so little of it animated and what we do have isn't at all satisfactory in terms of adaption (with the exception of Trust & Betrayal). |

Please, please let it be just a one volume side story or something! Rurouni Kenshin is over and done, with a very satisfying ending. There's nothing about it that requires a "reboot"!
I don't have the manga at me atm but IIRC spoiler[Kaoru's "death"] wasn't a case of Watsuki being pressured into spoiler[not killing her off so the story would be suitable for a younger audience. It's more like Watsuki himself wanted his manga to have a happy end, and seeing how the story developed not killing Kaoru off made lots of sense.] |

I love, love love, Rurouni Kenshin. But the manga ended a decade ago, and had a concluded end. Why continue it? On the one hand, a lot of the anime that has come out of Japan has been stale to me, and it's nice to see an old favorite come out and show what real good anime is.

Maybe Watsuki will do the story about Kenji and Shinya and their rivalry to be the last master of Mitsurugi.

In 'Free Talk 1' in volume 28, Watsuki-sensei does mention having had an idea for an arc set in Hokkaido after the Jinchuu arc. Perhaps this 'reboot' will be based off of ideas he had composed for that.
