The pause is justified for the author to plan the next arc of the work. For her part, Hara began publishing the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump magazine in 2006. The publisher published the fiftieth compilation volume on March 19. In fact, the author once commented that he plans to release at least 100 volumes.
The play inspired an anime adaptation released in 2012, followed by a second season in 2013. Finally, the third season premiered on April 5, but announced the indefinite suspension of new episodes starting with the fifth due to the spread of the new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in Japan.
Additionally, the manga also inspired a live-action film directed by Shinsuke Satou, and which was released in theaters in Japan in April 2019.
