Thank you as always for following my work. This is Wakamatsu. Since November 2017, I have consistently posted new manga every month—simultaneously on social media and as exclusive content for paid subscribers on my support sites. However, following the updates scheduled for next month, April 2026, I have decided to put my social media updates on hiatus for the time being, and to discontinue updates on my support sites (Fantia and FANBOX) permanently.
**Reasons for Ending Updates** It has become increasingly difficult to conceive of new stories that fit within the scope of a monthly update schedule; furthermore, avoiding thematic overlap with my past works has become nearly impossible. In addition to these creative hurdles, maintaining a consistent update pace has led to mounting pressure regarding deadlines. Despite having received an abundance of encouragement and financial support from all of you, I am deeply sorry to those who looked forward to my work that I must bring things to a close for these reasons.
**Schedule Leading Up to the End of Updates** On April 23rd, I will release the manga updates for April’s paid subscription tier. (I apologize that, due to my current work pace, this release falls toward the end of the month.) On April 30th, I will submit a request to remove the current paid subscription tiers. On May 1st, I will create a new subscription tier specifically for viewing past posts, clearly stating that no new content will be added to it. If you wish to access my past works, I hope you will consider utilizing this new tier. *I am adopting this method to prevent subscribers from continuing to be charged for a service that is no longer receiving updates.*
Should I decide to resume my creative activities in the future, I plan to distribute my work via a one-time purchase model rather than a subscription-based support site format.
I owe my ability to continue this journey for so long entirely to everyone who viewed and supported my work. I truly feel that, within the scope of short-form manga, I have successfully drawn everything I set out to create. Thank you all so very much. Next month's post will mark the conclusion of this chapter; however, if I ever make a return, I would be delighted if you stopped by to check out my work once again.
