The anime for the series released in 2012 and has recently started its third season, however, a hiatus on new episodeswas announced due to COVID-19. THe show has been a massive success in both the anime and historical fiction genres. The seires has also spawned a live action film that released back in 2019. As the series progresses, there is always a chance to improve and learn more on a time period that a story takes place in. This is why the series has announced it will be taking a short break.
Historical fiction demmands authenticity and the world of fiction demands a well thought out and detailed story. Due to these things, Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump, announced in their recent double issues, that the series would be taking a 3 issues break so that Hara can plan out the next arc to the sprawling story. Should nothing hold up the schedule, the series should return in June.
