Rurouni Kenshin goes monthly: ICv2.com reports that Viz will begin releasing Rurouni Kenshin on a monthly basis, beginning with October's Vol. 7. The samurai saga has been the top-selling manga in bookstores this year:

"While Rurouni Kenshin is going monthly, it will not forsake its trade paperback (tankoubon) format. Each month a new 180-200+ page volume will appear, though fans will still have to wait nearly two more years for the 28-volume series to reach its conclusion."
