Jaw-Dropping Twist in Jujutsu Kaisen Chapter Forces Major Manga to Go on Sudden Hiatus!

Highlights

"Fly Me to the Moon manga is going on hiatus because the writer was shocked by the latest chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen."

Fans of the manga "Fly Me to the Moon" will need to exercise patience as the writer, Kenjirou Hata, takes time to recover from the shock before resuming work on the series. This occurrence serves as a testament to the fact that even manga creators can be enthusiastic fans who are profoundly impacted by the narratives they consume.

While being a manga writer themselves, it doesn't mean that they are not enthusiasts of the genre. In a surprising turn of events, one mangaka was so profoundly affected by another manga's recent chapter that they decided to temporarily halt their own work. Yes, a manga called Fly Me to the Moon has been put on hiatus because its writer was left in utter shock by the latest installment of Jujutsu Kaisen.

Fly Me to the Moon has been regularly published in Shogakukan's magazine, Weekly Shonen Sunday, since February 2018. It spans a total of 15 books and is penned by Kenjirou Hata. The story revolves around a young man named Nasa, who, due to his name, has always felt a connection to space, whether he wanted it or not. However, everything takes an unexpected turn when he encounters a mysterious girl named Tsukasa, who is determined to marry him. Despite her intriguing presence, there is an air of peculiarity surrounding her true identity - is she an alien, a moon goddess, or something entirely different?

Fly Me to the Moon, an anime adaptation, premiered in October 2020 and consisted of 12 episodes. Its popularity led to an English dub that was streamed on Crunchyroll. Recently, the second season of the anime aired in April, with simultaneous streaming on Crunchyroll.

Although the manga chapters for Fly Me to the Moon have been consistently released, there will be a temporary pause. In the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday (Issue 46), Kata announced that he will be taking a hiatus until the magazine's 50th issue, which is still four issues away. The cause of this break is Chapter 236 of Jujutsu Kaisen, the most recent chapter.

Jujutsu Kaisen, currently one of the most renowned anime and manga globally, has captivated numerous individuals who eagerly read its recent chapter. Kata's profound astonishment is shared by countless fans who have taken to the online realm to voice their own sense of shock and disbelief. It is worth mentioning, without revealing excessive details, that these devoted fans have even constructed shrines commemorating a specific event that unfolded.

It seems that the impact of that particular chapter was not limited to the average otaku. Even Kenjirou Hata himself was affected. Fans of Fly Me to the Moon will have to be patient as he takes some time to recover from the shock and resume working on his own manga before the next chapter can be released. We greatly appreciate Hata's honesty in explaining the four-issue hiatus and find it fascinating that he, as a mangaka, is also an otaku who is deeply influenced by the stories, just like us.
