The "Captain Tsubasa" manga, which has been serialized for more than 40 years, is about to end due to the author's health and other conditions.

The Japanese sports manga "Captain Tsubasa" created by Yoichi Takahashi has been serialized for more than 40 years since its creation in the 1980s. "Captain Tsubasa", which is based on football, can be said to have deeply influenced the development of Japanese football, and this work is also a classic memory for many people born in the 1980s and 1990s.

However, some time ago, it was reported that the author Takahashi Yoichi retired and the manga was about to end. Recently, Takahashi Yoichi confirmed the news that the "Captain Tsubasa" manga is about to end on his personal Twitter.

"Captain Tsubasa Magazine vol.20", scheduled to be released in early April, will bring the final chapter of the "Captain Tsubasa" manga.

As for the reason for ending the comics, Takahashi Yoichi said that on the one hand, he is old (now 63 years old), suffers from vertigo, and presbyopia has affected his creation, and his physical condition is not as good as before; on the other hand, the impact of digital technology and the epidemic has caused a lot of changes in his creative environment, so drawing comics has become more and more difficult.

However, Takahashi Yoichi also clearly mentioned that although the serialization of the comics is about to end, the creation of the story of "Captain Tsubasa" will continue, but he did not specifically point out what medium will be used.
