The editorial department of Weekly Shonen Sunday has announced that the popular manga Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End will go on hiatus starting with the next issue. The decision was made to take the health of the manga’s creators, writer Kanehito Yamada and illustrator Tsukasa Abe, into consideration. The team plans to resume the series after adjusting the serialization pace and publication format. ……
Only in manga is the phrase “hiatus to recover” considered a normal thing in a creative industry.
What the hell kind of Victorian-era workhouses are these manga publications?
Based on all the “I’m so desperately sorry to make you dear readers wait an extra week (or more) for the next issue, but my brain has fallen out, my wife/husband has paid a hitman on me, and I’ve fallen into a coma” apologies I’ve seen from mangaka over the years, there is zero chance I’d encourage anyone to get into this for a job. 😬
Frieren has gone through so many hiatuses at this point. I’m assuming this won’t be too long either, like the previous ones
