Shonen Jump Has Put Another Hit Series On Hiatus

Shonen Jump has put yet another hit manga series on hiatus: RuriDragon. The reason for RuriDragon’s delay is (also once again) the poor health of the manga’s creator, Masaoki Shindo. The hiatus is currently being listed as “indefinite,” although the official press statement from Weekly Shonen Jump does indicate that the current plan is to wait for Masaoki Shindo to make a suitable recovery, before RuriDragon resumes. 

Thank you for reading Ruri Dragon every week. 

Due to the poor physical condition of Masaoki Shindo, Ruri Dragon will enter hiatus starting Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #35. 

The series was already absent from Weekly Shonen Jump Issue #33 and the editorial department looked for a way to create a sustainable schedule while facing the mangaka’s health condition, but after cvarious discussions with Masaoki Shindo, it has been decided it would be better for them to take a break to recover so the serialization continues in perfect conditions in the future. 

We will inform of the series’ comeback in upcoming Weekly Shonen Jump issues. We are very sorry to all readers who were looking forwared to the series and kept sending comments and letters. 

We will do our best to bring back Ruri’s daily life, so we would appreciate it if you could look over us in the future. 

We look forward to your continued support of Ruri Dragon
