Is the author ok? The manga is becoming like a inconsistent puzzle the reader has to work to piece together
The original author has a brain disease (cerebral hemorrhage) which made his thinking ability deteriorate rapidly, which is why the series getting harder to follow as it goes. He also got half-body paralyzed (left side) due to the disease. He got diagnosed in the middle of writing this series and he's struggling to even write and remember what he was writing and apologizing that the update is becoming infrequent and erratic. In the end, he succumbed to the disease and left the story unfinished. Ironically the last community post I read was him telling his reader he will try his best to finish writing the series.
"I posted it on Twitter yesterday, so I'm sure many of you already know about it, but I'd like to share it here as well.
This is a hiatus, not a discontinuation, so I will definitely return as soon as I can sort my mind out.
``Living in this world by cutting and pasting'' is very special to me.
I fell ill and lost a lot of things. When I felt like my heart would break during my stay in the hospital, it was the voices of support and encouragement from readers that helped me.
If it weren't for this work, I wouldn't have heard anyone say that.
Therefore, I am grateful for this series.
Since this series is that important to me, I don't want to do the foolish thing of abandoning it halfway through.
Even if my only series has already disappeared. --> I'm not sure what the author means about this part.
To all the readers who are reading this, everyone at Tsugikuru (publisher), Mr. Kato who illustrates the manga, and everyone at Shueisha, I will definitely finish it for all of you."
