Haru ni Sakura
This is the final epilogue of the manga. It does not have any other function but to show what the characters look like five years after the events of Rurouni Kenshin, and what they are doing with their lives.
Kenshin, Kaoru, Kenji, Yahiko, Tsubame, Megumi, Aoshi and Misao meet. Aoshi informs Kenshin on the whereabouts of Saitou, who is in Hokkaido on a mission, and a letter from Sanosuke arrives, telling the friends that he is currently in Mongolia, but going to return to Japan soon.
The idea of Saitou in Hokkaido is a reference to Watsuki's discarded idea for a post-Jinchuu story arch, which would have taken place in Hokkaido and reintroduced characters such as Fuji, Anji and Soujirou.
Haru ni Sakura is a part of the Kenshin Kaden guidebook. It is available in Japan, France, Germany and possibly other places.
