Last Friday,
July 26, Shinnosuke Kanazawa's official X (formerly
Twitter) account announced that his On and Off: Work-Life Imbalance manga
will go on an extended hiatus due to schedule adjustments.
Although the main series will be taking a break, Kanazawa will continue to
share illustrations and updates from his other work, Gojū Nen-Go no
Rōjin Home (Nursing Homes 50 Years From Now).
A very
fun look at work and personal life
This book,
published in English by Manga UP!, tells the story of two office
workers whose lives at work and outside of it could not be more different.
While one dresses in lolita style, the other bets on a punk look.
When their "on" and "off" modes collide, comical and
energetic situations arise.
