Some useful info
Since I have a thread for Warui series in MangaUpdates some fans have asked me this year: ‘What happened with Warui series serialization? Why isn’t it getting chapters in Hanaoto and Boy’s Capi magazines? Is Sakuraga sensei ill?’
First of all, Sakuraga sensei is fine. There’s no official new saying that she’s ill. The only official new behind her absence was given by herself in her blog last December 2017, and she said that she was on holidays (translation here). Aside from that, Houbusha hasn’t said a word.
About Warui serialization: there are some short stories that have been published in the limited edition booklets included in some Hanaoto issues this year. Also, there have been some previews for the 3rd Makoto x Tōru chapter, but for some unknown reasons, it has been delayed by Houbunsha. At this point, I dare to say that Sakuraga sensei has their story complete and it just needs to get published.
Let’s cross our fingers and hope we get more of Sakuraga sensei’s work next year. Also, we need to see more development for the most recent pairs too, so I find it hard that Hanaoto suddenly stops giving us content:
Shirō/Nao pair needs to get more chapters since Hayate should start getting along with Nao now. Of course that in order to achieve that, more Kimi wo Koro Shitai chapters will be needed too. Hayate would learn how to be a good brother to Nao thanks to Yuzuru, who has a beautiful relationship with Tōru.
And if you want to add more plot reasons, we have the Mika/Towa one, which is the main ship. If we trace a timeline in the series, it’s not been so long since Towa realized he loves Mikado, and he doesn’t even know about Kuon and Nanao’s relationship either. The Aikawas have a lot to say yet.
There’s the Haji/Masa pair too. What has Sakuraga sensei prepared for those two weirdos?
Okay, I hope this post helps you know the latest news about Sakuraga sensei. Just stay tuned, I’ll post more news in this post and in the MU thread, as usually do.
