Chained Soldier Manga Goes on Hiatus Over Artist's Wrist Injury
A scheduled November 14 return is on the books, but Shonen Jump+ is tying the manga's future pace to medical advice, which leaves the serialization's schedule open rather than fixed.
Reporting from 1 source: Anime News Network.
Shonen Jump+ announced on Saturday that Chained Soldier, the manga by writer Takahiro and artist Yohei Takemura, is going on hiatus because of Takemura's health. Takemura said he injured his right wrist in June, with damage to the fibrocartilage, and that drawing in a brace has slowed his recovery. Shonen Jump+ lists a November 14 return, with Takemura's recovery as the priority.
Takemura said the injury is damage to the fibrocartilage in his right wrist, sustained in June. He kept drawing with a brace on, which put strain on the wrist, caused pain, and held back healing. He has now stopped work on the manga's drafts so the wrist can recover, and he said full recovery will take a long period.
Shonen Jump+ put a date on the return: November 14. The editorial staff also said the manga's pace after that will be settled with Takahiro and Takemura and on medical advice. Yen Press publishes the series in English, and a third anime season is in the works.
