| Damn what a time a for a hiatus. Right when the manga was getting super intense story wise. Hope it doesn't stay in hiatus for too long. |
| This sure is an amazing signature! |
| Thanks for the news. I hope everything will be okay. :/ |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| I'm not reading the manga but it's nice to know that nothing bad happened to her. Hopefully her hiatus doesn't last too long. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| My mind suddenly went blank when I saw the words "Akatsuki No Yona" and "Indefinite Hiatus" .. Huhu. I hope everything is okay. We will be waiting for your return, Mizuho Kusanagi-sensei. |
| Wow, earthquakes are ruining us lol. Hopefully the manga will be back soon enough though. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Oh no At least please give us season 2 of the anime |

| rip in peace she was so young |
 |
| Don't read the manga but it's great she wasn't harmed. |
 |
| Well, I'm glad she's safe. I can wait. |
  |
| Sad for the news hope they all be fine in that region. Just in time for me to catch up, I'm on ch 100 its crazy out there this lady knows her storytelling. |
 |
Shuhan said: rip in peace she was so young she not dead. I can understand she would be upset being her home region. hope she takes her time to come back cause that sort of thing can ruin some one work. we will be waiting for you to get better. |
| Hope the hiatus wont be for long cuz it ended on such sort of bad moment that clifhanger......>_< |
 |
BlackPoint said: Hope the hiatus wont be for long cuz it ended on such sort of bad moment that clifhanger......>_< Got that right.. Talk about timing.. </3 But oh well.. |
| Glad to know she's okay. I hope she can sort out her living situation and the hiatus won't be long. |
| Wow, I haven't read the manga yet but Akatsuki no Yona turned out to be my favorite shoujo anime of all time (I don't watch a lot of Shoujo mind you...) |
| Oh no... This happened at the best part of the manga! ;-; I hope everything is okay... |
| Gave me a scare because I thought something happened to Kusanagi >< Glad to know that she is uninjured, and the indefinite hiatus doesn't sound so bad anymore. She's given this series a lot of love so I'm sure it will be finished one day. At least it doesn't sound like this will be like Nana. |
| Damn. This is devastating. Hopefully the hiatus isn't for that long. Don't want to be kept hanging on one my current favorite manga series. Just when we get to an exciting end of the current arc. |
 |
| I don't get it, yet get better soon, dear mangaka, I wish you a good recovery. |
| it goes so far to copy juuni kokki, even with hiatuses |
| That really sucks, I heard this happened with a few manga and even some anime. It's good to here she is alright though! For the people wondering how this happens, manuscripts are produced and turned in the week they're released. If an earthquake happens and prevents you from finishing your manuscript, it can't be published. The manga we see in "volumes" are usually chapters from magazines combined into one volume after they've been in a magazine. That's why the manga had to go on hiatus; since it can no longer be produced at the current time. |
 |
| I hope everything will be okay soon. Been really enjoying this manga so it's sad to see that it will be on hiatus. |
 |
| Yeah I know it's the earthquake and all, I can understand if didn't have the cover but the magazine not including a chapter when it has the cover? horrible, they must already have the chapter for that issue but won't include it. |
 |
| welp, there goes my hope for a 2nd season. |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| Aw. Well good thing the author wasn't hurt. I hope for their safety in Japan. |
| The news title scared me! But good to know the mangaka is uninjured. I just hope that everything will be alright soon so the hiatus won't be too long. |
 |
| Awh, thats sad :c I don't follow the manga but was planning to start it in the future. Guess not now. |
| Sad to see this going on hiatus, but glad that the mangaka isn't injured. |
| Ahh, this is so sad, the story was getting super intense too. Well I'm glad that she's not injured at least, so maybe Yona won't be long for too long! pls ;-; |
 |
| Don't read the manga but I watched the anime and it an easy 9/10. Hope everything gets settled soon. |
 Elsa - Queen of Seductive Rape Faces |
| Wait so did her studio get crashed by the earthquake? Or did she just get traumatized by the experience? I don't really see why there is a need to go on an indefinite hiatus just because she was unable to finish her manuscripts on time; a brief delay for a week or two should be enough to resolve that, no? In any case, bit of an awkward place for the manga to be put on hold but oh well |
  |
| Just in case if someone want to know how bad kumamoto condition after earthquake >>>>>> http://special.the-japan-news.com/kumamoto-earthquakes/ |
 |
| Ahhh poor fans. Poor mangaka. Poor Japan :/ @haxxspetten I dont think u would be in the mood of finishing manuscripts after an earthquake happened at ur area |
| Noooooooo! Not an indefinite hiatus nooooo! :(( Makes me wanna beat the crap out of that earthquake. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Damn it. I thought this is about Akatsuki no Yona S2 announcement. Oh, the earthquake left her traumatized? Or she lost her things? Well she's okay and I hope she recovers soon. Both emotionally and financially. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
Robiiii said: Well sure but it's not like an entire region of Japan can suddenly decide they're going to stop working just because they're "not in the mood" :sAhhh poor fans. Poor mangaka. Poor Japan :/ @haxxspetten I dont think u would be in the mood of finishing manuscripts after an earthquake happened at ur area |
| |
| No no no no no no. This manga is way too good for that. No. Let's hope its not actually "indefinite". |
 |
| Now I'm sad.....I hope Kusanagi-sensei would recover soon :( |
| Damn, never caught up with the manga but hiatus' are never good. Thankfully the mangaka wasn't hurt, let's just hope this doesn't end up like Highschool of the Dead. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| so sad hope it'll be ok soon. Glad she wasn't injured. I'll be waiting... |

Hmm, what other manga went on hiatus due to earthquakes and has not returned for DECADES.... pls no. Well Akatsuki no Yona seems to be in a pretty hyped arc so no way will a permanent hiatus strike now right....right? |

bobzanny said: Let's just hope this doesn't end up like Highschool of the Dead. Nah, HotD was not really on a hiatus. It's abandoned. Since the mangaka started a new one. |
| Haters always gonna hate. |
| sad to see this going on a hiatus, but i'm really relieved to hear that the mangaka isn't injured |
| Oh god no!!! thankfully nothing happened to the mangaka or the manga wouldn't even continue. Hope the hiatus ends soon. |
 set by secret santa ; thank you! ily ♥️ |
| Glad that she's fine. Don't read the manga but I loved the anime, Really hope she resumes publication soon. Need that second season soon :P |
