Monday's release of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump #51 will reprotedly reveal that Daisuke Ashihara's World Trigger manga is going on an indefinite hiatus due to his poor physical health. As many fans are already familiar with, manga authors work grueling scheduled in order to meet their publication schedules, often working 12-20 hrs per day, hunched over a desk while having bad posture. Case in pont, Asihara is suffering from nerve root damage at the cervical spondylosis (neck area of the spinal column).
World Trigger was previously absent from the 50th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump but an announcement in the magazine by the editorial staff stated that the series would return in issue 51. Obviously, htat's not going to be the case now. The announcement on Monday will reportedly state that the editorial staff is scurrently unsure when World Trigger will resume.
World Trigger was first published in 2013 and has a total of 15 released volumes to date. An anime adaptation began airing in 2014 and ended on April 3, 2016 at 73 episdoes after adapting the first 13 volumes of the manga. Fans expect the show to resume/return once there's enough room between the anime and manga.
Ashihara previously took
a one-week break back in September.
