In August 2021, the serial interruption of HUNTERxHUNTER Hunter (ハンター×ハンター) has been interrupted for more than 1,000 days, making the author Yoshihiro Akira once again a bad habit of various manga fans.
In fact, in recent years, as long as the theme is related to the "manga ending", The characters he and he created will almost always be mentioned repeatedly in the comments at a staggering proportion, either "Kula Pika is still on the ship", or it is simply the word "rich rape", so that his surname has basically been equated with the word "drag draft", and it is difficult to cut each other.

However, in fact, in terms of the time of the interruption of the light serialization, The Tree can be regarded as a big trick, although it has been stopped for a long time, but there are still many people who are longer than him, and many of them are regarded as classics, but because of the long stop, it has been forgotten by many readers, and even the new generation of readers are not very clear examples.
Next, let's take a look at the 7 masterpieces that are often described as "waiting for the end of the children to burn for me".
△ "The Hunter"
HUNTERxHUNTER Hunter, which began serialization in 1998 in weekly shonen jump (weekly shonen jump) (weekly shonen jump) and has been suspended for more than ten issues per year since 1999, and has been suspended for a long time since 2006.
As far as Ji Shu's personal statement is concerned, in fact, he suffered from waist pain as early as when he became famous for the serialization of "Youyou White Book", so after the end of "Youyou White Book", he could no longer continue to paint for a long time as in the past.
However, because he is known for his love of games and his speech is relatively unadorned, as his serial interruptions become more and more frequent, the intervals become longer and longer, and finally many readers think that he is just working unintentionally and devotes most of his time to video games.
Interestingly, as far as the serial status of "HUNTERxHUNTER Hunter" is concerned, this manga can still make the publisher wait patiently, and readers are still looking forward to the follow-up plot, which has indeed become one of the obvious evidence of the excellent creative ability of HuntERxHUNTER Hunter, and the popularity and topicality of this manga have always made the serial status of "HUNTERxHUNTER Hunter" a major special case in the Japanese manga industry.
△ "Strong Breeding Armor" | Yoshiki Takaya
Yoshiki Takaya's "Strong Breeding Armor" (強殖甲ガイバー), which was originally serialized in 1985, encountered two times when the serial magazine was discontinued, which also led to the suspension of the manga for five years and the adoption of a direct release of a single book.
In 2007, "Strong Armor" was transferred to "Top Shonen Ace" (monthly Shonen エース) to continue serialization, but since then, the manga has been suspended from time to time, and the last episode of the single line so far has been released in February 2016.
△ "Strong Breeding Armor"
The manga, which has been serialized for more than 30 years, originated when the editors wanted Takaya to draw a kamen rider (仮面ライダー) route. In fact, this game does have a considerable degree of close-up style, and the story is based on the aliens left over from tens of millions of years ago. As the core, a series of amazing battles developed, and through the increasingly complex worldview setting and the special arrangement of almost reversing the position of good and evil in the later period, "Strong Breeding Armor" became a science fiction masterpiece of Japanese manga.
However, since "Strong Breeding Armor" has been discontinued for more than 5 years, there was a rumor that Yoshiki Takaya had passed away in a car accident, and even some people said that takaya's family was originally very rich, and manga was only an interest rather than a profession, so you can think of re-drawing as you want.
△ "Ronin Swordsman"
Inoue's Ronin Swordsman (バガボンド) was serialized in 1998 and is based on Hideharu Yoshikawa's novel Miyamoto Musashi, but because Inoue adds many original elements, it is basically not a simple adaptation, but can be regarded as his personal interpretation of the two swordsmen Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.
"Ronin Swordsman" is extremely eye-catching in terms of sales and reviews, and in terms of relevant reviews and awards, it even surpasses his famous work "Slam DUNK". However, since February 2015, Ronin Swordsman has fallen into a state of long suspension, just like Kulapika can't get off the ship, Musashi, who ran to cultivate the fields, has never ushered in the harvest moment.
△ "Werewolf Swordsman"
However, although Inoue's popularity is no less than that of Yuki, and "Ronin Swordsman" is also a popular work, Inoue has been satirized and dragged much less often than Tsutomu, and in this regard, it may also be related to the way Akira is always direct and even gives people an irresponsible feeling of speaking.
It is worth noting that INOUE's other manga, REAL, which was discontinued in 2014, has resumed serialization in 2019, and at the end of the following year, the latest monograph that has been in violation for nearly 6 years has been released. So, since there is a precedent, does it mean that we still have a chance to see "Ronin Swordsman" start serialization in recent years?
△ "Five Star Story"
The Tale of Five Stars (ファイブスター物) is another masterpiece of Japanese science fiction manga, and in addition to this work, nagano is also known for his body settings in several robot animations, such as the classic Mobile Suit Z Steel Bomb (Mobile Suit Z Steel Bomb) (Mobile Suit Z Steel Bomb) (机动士戦士Ζガンダム), which is a well-known example.
The worldview of "Five Star Story" is very grand, and even before the series began, Nagano Gou published the story chronology first, revealing many related events spanning thousands of years in one breath, allowing readers to have a directional understanding of the overall plot, and bringing a magnificent cosmic epic through many characters and brilliant robot settings.
The Tale of Five Stars, which has been serialized since 1987, was originally a work that was often discontinued due to Nagano's emphasis on the quality of his paintings. The longest of these was the suspension of publication caused by Nagano's involvement in the production of the anime "Hana No Shi nō gothicMADE" (花ゴティックメード), which lasted for 8 and a half years from 2004 to 2013.
Interestingly, after the resumption of the five-star story, Nagano also replaced the original five-star story with part of the setting of "Flower Poet Girl GOTHICMADE", and added the events of the film to the "Five-Star Story" chronology, so that these changes once caused controversy among supporters. In this regard, Nagano is indeed like many well-known science fiction creators, making people feel that their real interest is actually to create a worldview of their own in great detail compared to the story.
△ "Glass Mask"
Many Taiwanese readers still habitually refer to the "Girl with a Thousand Faces" as Glass Masquerade (ガラスの仮面), a classic shōnen manga serialized by Minouchi Suzue (美内すずえ) since 1976, and its popularity has reached the point where you have at least heard the name, or seen the live-action Japanese drama version starring Yushi Anda.
Since the 1980s, Minouchi Suzue has been accustomed to drastically revising the content of the series before the release of the single book. In the 1990s, she was not satisfied with the status of the series after episode 40, so she did a lot of redrawing work, resulting in a five-year delay in episode 41 before it was finally released, and then because of her other work, episode 42 was again six years away from the previous episode before it was released in 2004.
Interestingly, in episode 42 of "Glass Masquerade", In order to make the story setting not appear outdated, Suzue Minuchi arranged items such as camera phones in the story originally set in the 70s, which triggered a heated discussion, and directly blurred the time setting of "Glass Masquerade" in this way.
Later, Minuchi Suzue did not restart the "Glass Mask" series until 2008, and successive episodes were released. However, after the 49th episode in 2012, the work once again fell into a long-term suspension, and even the original magazine was suspended in 2018, so that Minuchi Suzue had to come forward to guarantee that she would definitely finish "Glass Mask".
However, from episode 49 to now, it has been almost more than 9 years, maybe the next time the series is opened, the mobile phone used by the characters may also be replaced by a smart phone.
△《BASTARD!! -Diablo-"
In 1988, Hagiwara's "BASTARD!! - Dark God of Destruction- began to be officially serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, and its fantasy RPG route worldview seemed relatively rare at the time, and the work was also known for some of the more intense sex scenes, and even Hagiwara's large use of outlets had a lot of influence on the Japanese manga industry at that time.
However, after a year of serialization, Hagiwara temporarily suspended publication due to low back pain, and in 1990, he shifted his position to the quarterly magazine Weekly Shonen Jump Supplement (Weekly Shonen Jump Supplement) (Weekly Shonen Shonen Jump Supplement) and continued to serialize it, and because the working hours became much more abundant, he began to develop a habit of paying more attention to the quality of painting.
But in 1997, as Weekly Shonen Jump was in a competitive crisis in the market, the publisher decided to reclaim some golden writers, making BASTARD!! - Diablo Diablo- once again returned to Weekly Shonen Jump to continue serialization. However, the editorial board also allowed Hagiwara to serialize Ichiharu to Yoshihiro Tsukihito's "Spiritual E" (レベル E), which can be serialized in a special way that is only published once a month, thus also proving hagiwara's special status at that time.
Interestingly, when transferring to the Weekly Shonen Jump series, Hagiwara did not continue the original content, but directly shouted the plot that was entering the climax, so it jumped to another chapter 4 years later to start a new game, until 2001, when it was transferred to the monthly magazine Ultra Jump (ウルトラジャンプ) began to serialize irregularly, and did not pick up the story, but returned to the place where the 18th episode was cut off when it was released in 2012. Continue to tell the story of the plot that has been interrupted for more than a decade.
However, it was since then that BASTARD!! -Diablo-" began to fall into a long serial hiatus, and to this day, it has been 9 and a half years.
NANA (NANA - ナナ-) is arguably the most popular girl comic of the 2000s, and even the live-action film version has achieved excellent box office success, making the game quite a large number of readers of girl comics, even in terms of male readers, there are many supporters.
△《NANA》
Through the two heroines whose names are pronounced "NANA", this comic describes their different but closely related life experiences, through vivid character shaping and complex mood, to stimulate the reader's high resonance, whether it is friendship, love, dreams, outlook on life and character personality and other elements, have fully mastered the nature of the creation of the current era, coupled with the story background related to the pop music scene, it adds a lot of appeal to the work.
However, "NANA", which was originally serialized in a regular manner, was suspended in June 2009 due to the health problems of the author Yazawa Ai, and has not resumed serialization until today, and the suspension time has reached 12 and a half years, coupled with the fact that Yazawa Ai attaches more importance to privacy, so the outside world does not understand her condition, and even what the disease she suffers from is still a topic of discussion by many people. But for loyal NANA readers, most people still hold on to the blessing and look forward to Yazawa Ai's early recovery.
In May 2021, after the news of the death of Kentaro Miura, the author of "Brand Warrior" (ベルセルク), died of illness, it did make many readers pay attention to the health problems related to Japanese manga artists due to overwork.
After all, writing a story and taking into account the extremely hard work of drawing is indeed a heavy task that ordinary people cannot bear. It is not difficult to understand that these comic parents live such a life in exchange for a break, or are reluctant to re-hold the brush, just as we may resolutely switch tracks when faced with overloaded work.
△ Dragon Ball. Super》
Perhaps, the ending of these works is still far away, such as "Dragon Ball. The kind of work of "Chao" with Akira Toriyama as the original work, replaced by other writers as the drawing, and serialized by imitating the painting style may also be a good compromise, whether it is for the author who is tired in body, mind and soul, or for the reader who is eager to know the follow-up of the story, it may also be a way to at least make the work go steadily towards the end.
In any case, I hope that the creators we love will be healthy and healthy, and as readers, no matter what, we can at least see the ending of the story in their hearts.
