posted on by Alex Mateo
This year's November issue of Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine revealed on Saturday that Satoshi Shiki and Tatsuhiko Ida's Bakuen manga will end in the magazine's next issue on October 26.
Shiki and Ida launched Bakuen in Monthly Shonen Sirius in February 2020. Ida is credited with the original work, and Shiki is drawing the manga. Kodansha published the manga's fourth compiled book volume on August 6.
The manga takes place in a world where everyday life has suddenly crumbled away. In front of a young girl who is only waiting for death in this ruined world, a lone young man descends from an empty sky.
The manga took a break in April 2020 due to the effects of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Shiki explained that instead of working at a studio, in order to implement social distancing measures, the staff of the manga transitioned to working from home. Shiki and the editorial team at Monthly Shonen Sirius decided to put the manga on hiatus during the transition.
Shiki (XBlade, XBlade Cross, Daphne in the Brilliant Blue) ended the Attack on Titan: Before the Fall manga in March 2019. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed Shiki's The Legend of Dororo and Hyakkimaru (Dororo to Hyakkimaru-den) remake manga of Osamu Tezuka's Dororo manga. Shiki launched the manga in Akita Shoten's Monthly Champion RED magazine in October 2018.
