Manga artist Afro has paused both of his serialized works, 'mono' and 'Laid-Back Camp', citing physical limits and health issues from drawing them in parallel. 'Laid-Back Camp' is set to resume after a short rest, while 'mono' has no return date.
Afro is a manga artist who has been serializing two works at once: 'Laid-Back Camp' and 'mono'. Both series share a universe and have anime adaptations. In early August 2026, Houbunsha's editorial departments announced that Afro would pause both series, citing physical limits and health issues from the stress of drawing them in parallel.
The hiatus affects both series differently. 'Laid-Back Camp' will take a short break starting after chapter 110 part 2, which is set to be added on Comic Fuz, and will resume after that rest. 'mono' will be on hiatus for an extended period, with no return date announced. Afro's official X account clarified the details, and the editorial department apologized to fans awaiting new chapters.
Afro launched 'Laid-Back Camp' in Manga Time Kirara Forward in 2015, moving it to Comic Fuz in 2019, with 18 volumes published as of November 2025. The 'mono' four-panel manga began in Manga Time Kirara Miracle! in May 2017 before moving to Manga Time Kirara Carat later that year, with five volumes released by June 2025. Both series have anime adaptations, with 'Laid-Back Camp's fourth season slated for 2027.
