The notice stated that the decision was made after considering the health of both creators, Yamada and Abe, and that the manga's serialization pace and publication format will be adjusted moving forward. The statement also mentioned that the two authors will continue working on the series while receiving support from the editorial team, and that details regarding its return schedule will be announced in future issues of Shounen Sunday.
