I'm not so petty that I have to include even our credit pages, afterword stuff and whatever, but yeah this is all we're going to get for August. Hopefully we'll be seeing something by September, but if you're stalking the mangaka like me, I'm gonna respectfully say that it's a 50/50.

Anyways! I've already released the translation regarding what Ryuuichi said in that third page in our server some time ago, and now I'm going to place it over here.

Apology Notice​

Regarding the next (update) chapter of Pan wo Nameruna; I sincerely apologize, but we have postponed it to September 4. I failed to adjust my schedule ahead of my other (irregular) work such as the production of a tankobon compilation, which threw off my pace and also took a toll on my health. Also, regarding why the pace of the serialization has been unstable;

Various unavoidable issues surfaced in the production environment for this manga, and using my own (poor) health as a trigger, I suspended the serialization for about a year and half up until last year. I resumed at a monthly pace from the end of 2025, but I'm still not back to my full stride. Though it may be a vague way of putting it that it could invite misunderstanding;

I've been hit by a severe slump, and the progress of this serialization has been significantly delayed. While fitting in manuscript work for other manga to help get myself back on track, the pace for this serialization will still be unstable, but I will do my best to update at a monthly pace as a baseline, so please bear with me. In the meantime, various other works may be announced in parallel.

If you can, please show your support for those as well. I have been discussing these matters with my current editor on a year-by-year basis, and the deeper details have already been heard by the higher-ups at the editorial department. There are various things about this that I cannot go into detail about.

Please, wait a little longer.​

Okay back to me. Some of those unavoidable issues may be partly due to the fact that his publication's management changed and even the creatives are affected because of new policies in his workplace, is what I'm using my most educated guess on, but that already happened several months ago so while I think he was already affected by that change by that time, it's still affecting him now.

Also recently his bedsprings sprang out and slashed his back, so I just really feel bad for the guy. He's been getting sick and I think is always dipping around the edge of poverty, so let's just hope things turn for the better for him, yeah?

I thought she went for a kiss...

 

[SUPER7X]

It's the same word in Japanese, but a monthly series taking a single month off is not really a hiatus. Merely a break.

 

[qwsfdgh]

I wonder how long they squeezed her for

 

[fight2live]

hmmm kinda lewd

Não sou tão mesquinho a ponto de incluir até os créditos, posfácios e tudo mais, mas é só isso que teremos em agosto. Espero que tenhamos algo em setembro, mas se você é fã do mangaká como eu, vou dizer respeitosamente que as chances são de 50/50.

Enfim! Eu já publiquei a tradução do que o Ryuuichi disse naquela terceira página no nosso servidor há algum tempo, e agora vou colocá-la aqui.



Ok, voltando a mim. Alguns desses problemas inevitáveis podem ser parcialmente atribuídos à mudança na gestão da publicação dele, e até mesmo os criativos estão sendo afetados pelas novas políticas no local de trabalho. Essa é a minha melhor suposição, mas isso já aconteceu há alguns meses, então, embora eu acredite que ele já tenha sido afetado por essa mudança naquela época, ela ainda o afeta agora.

Recentemente, as molas da cama dele se soltaram e o cortaram nas costas, então eu realmente sinto muito pelo cara. Ele anda ficando doente e acho que está sempre à beira da pobreza, então vamos torcer para que as coisas melhorem para ele, né?

Seriously, is that something that could happen? That's bizarre, Now I'm afraid of spring mattresses, I never knew this could happen, mattresses in my country are primarily made of foam, what a dangerous thing.

Getting straight to the point of the news and leaving aside other things, it's already a victory that the manga has resumed publication; for far less, there have been manga that went on hiatus and never returned. Years go by, and if the author is lucky enough to return to the market, it's usually with a new publication, as the old one has become outdated and the audience has moved on. I say this from personal experience; one of the first manga I read has been on hiatus since 2012. The author returned to the market around 2018, and the old publication no longer made commercial sense.The downside was that when I read the new manga, I didn't like it; it just didn't match my tastes. But I kept wishing the author success, which she more or less achieved, the new manga was adapted into an anime, but by GoHands, so the visual quality is terrible.

If you ask me our beloved Ryuuichi (the author) has been in some state of depression. He's really trying his best to keep holding on by destressing himself with his hobbies, e.g. buying Gundam kits, watching movies, playing an insanely unhealthy amount of Blue Archive... but at the same time I'm quite aware that this serialization, alongside the oneshots and other projects he's been working on are really just things he has to do to make ends meet.

I wish there was a way to really directly financially support the guy. Buying his volumes can only go so far...

To be honest with you, hearing "a Japanese person and Blue Archive" in the same sentence, the only thing that comes to mind is that this crazy person is spending all their money on digital waifu gacha. In order to help a citizen, first they must at least want to help themselves.
It might just be my prejudice that every Japanese person who plays gacha games spends a fortune on them by default, but...
