| Does anyone know why the manga is on hiatus? I'm wondering, because I just re-picked up on reading this manga since I just finished watching the anime. xD |
| The Peacemaker Kurogane series is on hiatus because now Tokyopop has the license to the manga. The series that ADV was releasing is actually the second part of the manga, and it's not the first time that the company has done this with their manga releases, but I imagine that it is possible that the confusion created by this release pattern affected the manga's sales. A good chunk of the anime was based on the first part of the manga, Shinsengumi Imon Peacemaker, and ADV had already licensed and released most of the anime on DVD by the time they started publishing the manga in English. Peacemaker Kurogane is really only understandable without Shinsengumi Imon Peacemaker if you have already watched the entire anime because Peacemaker Kurogane continues literally right where the anime left off. So, in a nutshell, Tokyopop owns the rights to publish the manga in English now and they're releasing it under the name Peacemaker starting with Shinsengumi Imon Peacemaker. The Peacemaker Kurogane translations won't continue until they finish the first season, but there are five volumes total and Tokyopop seems to be releasing them very quickly - Volume 3 is already out. :D |
| Sorry for bumping an OLD topic but "Why is it on hiatus in japan?" Anyone know the reason why Nanae Chrono hasn't released a 6th volume yet? |

| The series isn't on hiatus in Japan - it ended at volume five. |
Touka said: The series isn't on hiatus in Japan - it ended at volume five. I'm pretty sure you're mistaken D: Here are several sources online that claim that the manga Peacemaker Kurogane (aka the sequel) is not complete at 5 volumes, and that it is in fact still an ongoing series.

| Wikipedia and baka-updates are hardly reliable sources. I am aware that it was on hiatus and that it still in fact could be, but the latest volume of PMK was released in Japan in 2005. Thats five years ago now. I seriously doubt the series will come back from a hiatus now. The author has surely lost interest and if she hasn't I am sure most of the fans have. It might be hard securing another publication deal as well. I don't think anyone has the full story, but I speculate the series was first put on hiatus but was then eventually dropped altogether. So really it has ended. |
Touka said: Its totally alright to have ones own opinion but doing some research first is always good :DSo really it has ended. http://community.livejournal.com/pm_kurogane/396423.html |

| Oh I did enough research last year to come to my conclusion, believe you me. I would rather not go through the entire process again. Besides, sorry to say but until I see some actual manga I am not going to believe anything. Call me stubborn but after five years I have kind of given up hope. Anyway, if the series is to continue the rules of this website dictate that it will require a new entry in the database because more than 12 weeks have passed since it last saw the light of day. Also, distribution through mobile? I did say publication would be hard to find, haha. |

I'm pretty sure Zayn's right. http://community.livejournal.com/chrono_nanae/8046.html It says that PMK volume 6 is already scheduled to come out. :) Which is awesome news. Also, sorry for bumming a kinda old forum again. xD; |
| To update volume 6: Yes, it went on sale in Japan. Apparently it took rank #11 in the top manga sales during Nov. 2010. But no hope of Tokyopop publishing it now -___- http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-11-17/japanese-comic-ranking-november-8-14 According to the people who have read it, it's a tear-jerker. (And it seems to be the final volume? Am I right?) |

No its not cause Chrono didn't get to the really depressing stuff yet I'm not going to spoil anything, but if you read or watched anything relating to the Shinsengumi. Or read up on their actual history you'll already know the gist of whats going to happen next. Its only going to get way more depressing than what has already happened in the last volume. T_T |

| In the end of whichever volume she ended at the author basically said "sorry guys, IDK where to go from here." |

| Peace Maker Kurogane will be resumed |

| 16th volume is available currently. It can be found in English, not sure whether I am allowed to post the link to scanlations on this site. |

Unfortunately its not allowed, but with a quick google search or looking through tumblr you will be able to find later chapters the earlier ones before volumes 6 or 7 are a bit hard to find since the manga is OOP here in America unless Tokyo Pop got the license back. Mag Garden only has the most current chapter available legally, but in Japanese only. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Wondering if this series will ever get licensed in North America again. :/ There are so many Tokyopop titles that were dropped and/or incomplete once they went defunct, and no other publishers have picked them up since. It's hidden gems like these that have fallen through the cracks. It's even worse for some series that don't even have English scanlations. |
