Half of the lady mangaka duo that is PEACH-PIT has been hospitalised with what looks to be a serious, though not life threatening, illness.
As a result, the busy group is forced to suspend publication of no less than three titles: Rozen Maiden, Zombie-Loan, and Shugo Chara.
It looks as though there is no danger of a permanent cessation, but the timeframe for resuming publication is not clear.
Their announcement reads as follows:
In this month’s editions of GFantasy, Young Jump and Nakayoshi, the latest chapters of ZOMBIE-LOAN, Rozen Maiden and Shugo Chara will not be appearing.
Due to a sudden illness, the author must unfortunately suspend publication.
To all those anticipating the latest editions, we apologise unreservedly.
We tried to arrange matters so a suspension would not be required, but it just wasn’t possible.<lengthy platitudes redacted>
I’d like to get well soon, leave hospital, and return to work healthy. I’ll be back to working eagerly on the three titles shortly, so I’d be delighted if you could just wait for me a little longer.
Please bear with us for now,
PEACH-PIT
Hopefully she will get well soon, though it’s not made clear which of the duo is ill, and of course the understandable reticence to reveal private details leaves us with no idea as to what precisely prompted this extraordinary move.
So soon after almost losing Eri Takenashi to a severe health problem, and with the status of Kannagi yet in doubt, it is at least reassuring to know that in this case there appears to be no danger to the mangaka’s life, and also none to the works.
2ch for its part is as usual filled with speculation, with at least one puzzled voice asking if otaku somehow found out Shinku was second-hand…

Uh oh

Was thinking the same.
I really hope the group is ok.
I've only watched the series(minus the second episode of overture), and read Vol.01 Ch.004 of the manga, but I always needs more Souseiseki.
Now I don't know much about the manga, but the first one seems finished. And there seems to be a second one, which I assume is the one they're talking about. And if there's any chance of *ehem* My Souseiseki being back in action again that's just been lost, this article has left me in despair.T_T
Plz get better Peach-pit! We'll be waiting fer ur return > <
Why all of a sudden these author slowly fall ill one after another?
WAHH! This stinks. I actually read all 3 of their manga that are now on hiatus.. Hopefully she gets well soon for her won sake and for the continuation of the titles they put out.
So which is the ill one? Sendou or Ebara?
Nobody knows... For some reason they don't specify. They don't even use personal pronouns in the announcement.
They seem to enjoy their privacy. I've never even seen a photo of them.
Whichever one is sick, GODSPEED
FFFFFFFFFFFFF
I hope it is nothing serious. ;_;
I hope that she will have a speedy recovery
I see. I was wondering why the recent chapter 8 was so short.
Not the first time PEACH-PIT has had this kind of problem...
What's up with all these mangaka being hospitalized all of a sudden?
Get well soon, PEACH-PIT! The world needs moAr desu!!
Maybe crazy otakus who are unhappy with their...work...might be doing this O___O Ahhh no one tell the otaku-haters about what i just said ~>__<~
wouldn't it be even worse for an otaku if their precious mangakas that feed them stopped making series?
are you joseph?
Frozen Maiden then...
Yeah..., it sounds quite weird, maybe the editors are overworking the poor mangakas, trying to milk them out as much as possible, and knowing how bad they are paid i wouldb't be surprised to know they can't even pay for a decent healthcare...
C'mon publishers, you need to give a break to our beloved mangakas once in a while!
if they'd give them a break everyone would complain about not getting their stuff...
still all the best for the PEACH-PIT!
Nobody cares about SC and ZL. Needs moar desu.
It's a trend...
Hope they get well soon, all the same. I hate Rozen, but everything else they do is lovely.
>hate Rozen, but everything else they do is lovely.
...Rozen is arguably their best manga.
Seriously. Shugo Chara was God awful.
I agree. SC stunk out loud.
great...
