“Terraformars” on hold as author Sasuga Yu is recuperating from an illness

In 2011, writer Yu Sasuga and artist Kenichi Tachibana would create “Terra Formars”, a manga series that would become a major hit in Japan.

First serialized in Shueisha’s “Weekly Young Jump” and an OVA and anime series slated later this year, “Terra Formars” was ranked #1 in the 2013 “Kono Manga ga Sugoi!” top 20 Manga for Male Readers survey.

And while the manga has been popular, unfortunately Sasuga Yu’s health has not been well.

Back in March 2017, “Terraformars” had to be put on hold and it was resumed back on April 2018.  But it was announced that the manga series will be on hiatus again from the September 13th release and that the series would be resumed on November 15th.  But an apology was posted to the readers by Sasuga and the editorial staff.

いつもご愛読頂きまして、誠に有難うございます。
楽しみにして頂いている読者の皆様には、心より申し訳なく思っておりますが、原作・貴家悠先生の病気療養のため、次号１号（12/6発売）より、しばらく休載させて頂きます。
ご心配をお掛け致しますが、どうかご理解頂きますようお願い致します。 pic.twitter.com/Yoa0pxDIb8

Fortunately, die-hard fans are rallying behind Sasuga and wanting him to get healthy and return when he’s in the best condition.  Some fans said they would wait as long as it takes “as a masterpiece is worth the wait”.

And while Sasuga tries to heal form his illness, illustrator Tachibana Ken-ichi posted the following on Twitter.

このたび原作・貴家悠先生の病気療養のため、次号１号（12/6発売）より、しばらく休載させて頂くことになりました。お伝えするのが遅くなり申し訳ありません…！昨日２９日発売のヤングジャンプにはこちらの巻頭カラーで載っています…！復活するその日までどうかお待ちを…！！！ pic.twitter.com/FqHk6cYZbW
