Rozen Maiden ends run on Comic Birz
Comic Birz has announced on their website that the final chapter for Rozen Maiden will be published in next month’s issue. Rozen Maiden has been missing in action from Comic Birz for the past 4 months since Peach Pit had issues with the editorial team for Comic Birz in December.
This is only the final chapter for Comic Birz however, and one can expect that Rozen Maiden will be popping up in another magazine elsewhere. It has been rumoured since december that the fallout was because the editor lost the original copy of the latest chapter(which is very serious). However Peach Pit also wrote on their blog that they were having problems with the editor making very serious mistakes when putting the text into the manga, such as wrong punctuations, additional words that were not in the original, completely different names from the original, and even writing Souseiseki as “little brother”. Apparently the editor had not properly checked the names in the manga in the 3 years since they started.
Japan’s foreign minister Asou Tarou will crush Comic Birz when he hears about this. Not that they’ll need any crushing once Rozen Maiden leaves the magazine.
