Why it matters
The second delay in a month puts the schedule on the artist's wrist rather than the editorial calendar, and the announcement says the new date was set with Takemura's health in mind.
Key Facts
- Chained Soldier resumes with chapter 189 on December 12.
- The December 12 date replaces an originally planned November 14 resumption.
- Artist Yohei Takemura injured his right wrist in June, with damage to the fibrocartilage.
- The manga went on hiatus in October due to Takemura's health.
- Yen Press publishes Chained Soldier in English.
The manga went on hiatus in October after Takemura reported a right wrist injury from June, damage to the fibrocartilage, and said drawing in a brace was slowing recovery.
The resumption date has moved once already. Shonen Jump+ first planned to bring the manga back on November 14, then pushed it to December 12 after weighing Takemura's condition. Chapter 189 is the return point.
Takemura's October statement described damage to the fibrocartilage of the right wrist, an injury from June, and pain that made drawing in a brace slow the healing. The editorial staff said at the time that recovery comes first and that the manga's future pace will be set with Takahiro, Takemura, and medical advice. Yen Press publishes the series in English.
