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.
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.
The disc release turns a two-run stage production into a keepable product, the same path the manga and anime took: Blue Lock -EPISODE Nagi- was serialized in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine from 2022 to 2025, and the source reports a fifth main stage show is set for Tokyo, Osaka, and Aichi in October 2026.
The two companies announced the contract termination on July 1 and no resumption has been announced, so these Marvel manga editions are heading out of print in Japan with no replacement plan stated.
A new chapter of Chaotic Century goes back to the 1999 Shogakukan manga and anime that built the franchise's audience, so Takara Tomy is betting on the older Zoids era rather than the more recent Wild project.
The adaptation moves Ayasato's Dash X Bunko series onto a Nico Nico Seiga page after two novel volumes, putting the Saintess Holy War premise in front of a browsing web manga audience.
Yoshimoto returns to serialization after ending Kuma Miko in December 2023, and the new work goes to a digital supplement rather than the print magazine where the earlier series ran.
Miura moves from adapting someone else's light novel to an original manga on the same platform family that carried his New Saga adaptation, with the site's own account doing the announcing.
The hiatus was framed as a scheduling decision to finish the series properly, and the return date now puts the manga's last stretch on the calendar with the 14th volume as its starting point.
Yoshida already adapted Arai's Itoshi no Irene for live action in 2018, and this crowdfunding-backed return pairs an established director-manga pairing with a subject the production is staffing a specialist advisor for.
The move answers a question left open since Mori's work ended at Aokishi: where the manga would continue, and now it is a new publisher printing it at a bigger size rather than a magazine run.
The adaptation moves a 2025 Kadokawa novel into Dengeki Daioh G's monthly serialization, giving the romantic-comedy premise a magazine run two years after Ebisu's earlier light novel series finished its print run.
The return keeps a series the author has said is approaching its end moving again, after a 2024-2025 break over the same health issues.
Aoki ended the main run in 2017 and has returned to it only briefly since, so the anniversary slot is the first extended page count the property has been given in years.
A Hyuganatsu-derived manga wraps in the same season the author's better-known property, The Apothecary Diaries, returns for a third anime season on October 2.
The simulpub puts a Digimon manga on the same global platform and day as its Japanese magazine launch, with Chinese and Korean editions running on the franchise's own site, so the company is distributing a Digimon comic abroad and at home at once.
The artist behind Dungeon Farm, which finished at four volumes in October 2025, is staying with the light-novel adaptation lane, this time on a property whose source novel Kadokawa put out itself.
Katsuwo's move from completed comedy series to adapting another author's ongoing shogi novels puts the magazine's cover on a first chapter rather than a new original work.
Titan Manga's omnibus gives the series a print English edition years after the manga finished, landing alongside Mangamo's ongoing digital release under a different title.
Glacier Bay Books is placing its catalog on a new digital platform while it absorbs the Star Fruit Books line, and Sweet Shop gets a small-press manga catalog as a starting library.
The spinoff line is Kodansha's expansion engine for Akane Shimizu's series, and the mouth is a setting with clear biological hazards that should fit the series' disease and injury premise.
Takahashi stepped back from serialization in 2024 and the magazine that carried the franchise closed that same year, so the October restart keeps the final saga running on the series' own website rather than in print.
The ending lands while Seven Seas is still one volume behind Kadokawa, so English readers will finish the series only after the eighth Japanese volume arrives.
Manga One is filling out its fall slate with two creators who already have English-language footprints, Albarran through Kodansha's K MANGA and Machibari through Manga UP! Global and Shusuisha adaptations.
The jury and fan win puts a design credit, May Hijikuro's, on the record of an industry award for a manga edition, which is a different kind of recognition than a sales or popularity result.
