Frieren on indefinite hiatus, no return date announced

i learn that this manga always go on hiatuses or breaks now that i finally caught up to the latest chapter the waiting will be a pain too

@deg It didn't used be the case. While it did take breaks those were short but then it started taking long breaks at the start of last year. I think author has health issues?

What health issues, the author and writer combo are most likely working and/or assisting on projects related to Frieren but unrelated to the comic itself (more anime to come, spin-offs like the novel recently released etc.).

@Avvenirista It was just a speculation given authors usually take long hiatuses for health reasons. Any source for your claim btw? Cause authors usually do the things u mentioned while continuing the serialisation and don't take indefinite hiatus for it.

@MegamiRem
Putting on hold a series multiple times for health issues always comes with a notice from the magazine/publication and for Frieren this has never been the case.
We know that at least one of the them (the artist) worked directly on the TV anime by providing artwork so I'll say it's safe to assume that the other one also worked on the project.
Considering that the TV anime is filled with miniscule details and extended scenes I'd say that the author was directly and extensively consulted by the anime staff for a longer period of time and was consequently involed in the production of the project.
Now add to this the incredible success of the TV anime and Shogakukan prossibly preparing an onslaught of new Frieren media and the sense that I'm getting is that the continuation of the main comic is slowing (halting) down again because the duo is needed to work and give their seal of approval on other Frieren projects ithat right now are in the oven.

@Avvenirista Taking a short break once in a while would make sense for this but taking long breaks for months, several times, idk. The manga was in break more than half the time since the begining of last year. Anyway anything we say will be speculation and unless they confirm the reason anything can be true. Ultimately fact is it's on break and manga readers aren't getting chapters.

@MegamiRem
No, taking just a few short breaks wouldn't make sense for the kind situation that I'm speculating is happening behind the scenes.
What I'm saying is that it's highly possible that that last year Frieren only appeared in 19 issues of Shonen Sunday precisely because the creative minds behind it were also involved in the creation of the anime adaptation and so had less time to work on the comic itself, and I think the same thing might be happening again now that Frieren has multiple unannounced projects in the pipeline.

At least there are enough chapters for a 2nd season, if they ever announce it.

I see, guess that's why complete adaptations don't exist. 🙃
