    Urotan’s Strike Witches manga on hiatus

    Monday, July 26th, 2010

    Urotan’s official Strike Witches manga had started on Comp Ace a while back but was already on hiatus.

    Urotan has posted a notice on his site:

    I’ll just report about what has been happening recently

    It has been really disorganized right from the start when I took the job, and against my wishes I wasn’t given a chance to do any preparations in advance and they abruptly did that announcement notice about the manga even though everything was in a bad state.

    Even then I wanted everybody to enjoy the manga so I desperately worked myself to death to get that first chapter out.

    But under those adverse circumstances that single chapter was the limit.

    Right now I finally got to get into direct contact with the anime staff, and I have currently established a good relationship with them.

    But on the topic of continuing the serialization, I really want to do it but the various problems that came up previously has left a significant psychological exhaustion on me, and I have decided that as my mental state is currently still unable to return to normal, I have to temporarily give up on continuing the manga.

    Right now I am just extremely regretful that I am unable to deliver an enjoyable manga to everybody at the current optimal timing.

    What happens after this is currently undetermined, but right now I only hope to get a little time off.

    I’m really sorry to have gotten everybody concerned and worried for me.

    Sankei news reports that Comic Bunch magazine’s final issue will be released on the 27th August and the magazine will cease publishing.

    Comic Bunch came with a bang many years ago with manga authors like Hara Tetsuo and Houjou Tsukasa, along with ex-Shounen Jump chief editor Horie Nobuhiko being among founding members. The first issue had a distribution of over 700,000 copies, but has dropped to 140,000 recently.

    The company Coamix which they set up is still alive though, and is in the midst of discussing about a starting a new magazine this autumn.
