Not like Hiatus x Hiatus having a long break then gets back to make a few chapters and take a hiatus again.
I don't even know why it's announced as hiatus if it will be in a few weeks, They could just say the author was having a break.

Yes, it was my mistake. I'm sorry and thank you for pointing that out.

Good to know things are going back to normal so quickly.
Incidentally, that link is to the hanayume website, not the mangaka's blog. Are you sure you didn't mean to link to http://yaplog.jp/sanaginonaka/archive/757 ?

Hopefully it'll resume soon and not take too long.
I'm still in pain waiting for Ai Yazawa to finish NANA. If Akatsuki no Yona ends up the same I'mma cry an ocean.

Well Akatsuki no Yona seems to be in a pretty hyped arc so no way will a permanent hiatus strike now right....right?
X got hiatused at literally finale cliffhanger.
PeaceMaker Kurogane went on Hiatus for 10 or so years and came back last year or in 2014 and now its getting a new anime adaption/sequel so don't lose hope. Seeing pictures of where she lives AnY will probably be on hiatus for a few months.
At least I still got Magi and Noragami, but Akatsuki no Yona is in my top 10 sad to see it will not be updated for a while. At least this gives time for the scans to get caught up if they haven't already.

Chances are there will never be a sequel (particularly after the couple of OVAs have been announced to be adapted). Read the manga. It's an A+ manga and its rating in Japan or in MAL is not for show. You don't see many manga out there that just keep on getting better and better with the progression of story.
ok thnx i will follow ur advice and read Manga as i have been told b4 by others users.

should i read the manga or just wait for s:2 ? anyone?
Chances are there will never be a sequel (particularly after the couple of OVAs have been announced to be adapted). Read the manga. It's an A+ manga and its rating in Japan or in MAL is not for show. You don't see many manga out there that just keep on getting better and better with the progression of story. It gets a lot more darker, it puts pieces in the right places at the right time to make senses and it makes a mockery of other long running manga outside the target demographic on how it should be done.
I just hope sensei recovers from anything that may keep her from releasing the chapters soon. It could be mental shock. It could be loss of family, relatives or friends, or even loss of people working with her (her editor, her assistants), it could be loss of places she loved, it could be loss of the environment she worked on. We don't know anything. A few years back when Japan was hit by Tsunami, she thanked Taiwan for its role on helping her region in her manga. We are talking about human lives here with many, many more important things involved.
I am very disappointed reading some of the comments here.
Hear Hear. I can't believe how self-involved people are in making the hiatus surrounding the just BARELY recent catastrophes in Japan just about them. Does most of the world live in a bubble and is not keeping up with the news? There may not have been that many lives lost compared to the more tragic incidents in history, but seriously just the fact that lives were lost should be enough to gather some sense of loss or sympathy. Not to mention that the Kumamoto prefecture suffered a massive toll to its infrastructure with transportation and many corporations and industries forced to shut down and spend large amounts of capital to recover.
We don't know if the mangaka lost someone close to them or was traumatised by how close her entire life or livelihood could have been lost- it's enough to shatter most people. Perhaps she's helping with the restoration efforts as lots of Japanese are now doing.
Nevertheless, I hope she takes the time to recover and get back to her manga work in high spirits for both our sakes. It wouldn't feel right to enjoy her manga considering right?
