Thank you for the ten chapters! I truly enjoyed them! Please take some time to rest, and I look forward to seeing you again very soon.
I do worry about him and his health
The announcement highlights an ongoing challenge for both Togashi and the manga industry as a whole: balancing creative genius with the physical demands of long-term serialization.
