A variety of strange reasons for the suspension of Japanese cartoonists

Although known as the most hardworking country, many famous cartoonists have times when they stop writing (being lazy). Excluding some individual "chronic illnesses", other cartoonists generally explain their reasons for stopping. Let's take a look at those hilarious and bizarre reasons for stopping.

• "Golden Kamuy".

Noda Satoru announced that he would stop publishing in the 12th issue of the magazine in 2020, citing the reason of "having a baby". This shocked countless readers and caused rumors that Noda Satoru was a female cartoonist. Noda had to quickly clarify that he was a man, and who gave birth to the child remains a mystery to this day.

• "Fire Force".

Okubo Atsushi announced the discontinuation of the series in issue 34 of the magazine in 2018. The reason was "I felt that the discontinuation seemed quite interesting, so I discontinued it in the next issue." Could it be that he envied a certain mahjong master?

• "MAGI".

In 2013, the series was announced to be discontinued, with the reason being "Alibaba (the character in the work) is very sad now, so I want to stop." It seems that he was too immersed in the drama.

• "Baki-do".

Itagaki Keisuke announced in 2014 that he would stop posting, saying "I'm injured, and my fracture makes it impossible to make a full fist, so let me rest." Fans joked that he actually draws with his fists instead of a pen.

• "Code black: Lelouch of the Fast and Furious".

The reason given by the author Hoshitomajiro for stopping the post is irrefutable: "It was stopped because he had diarrhea after drinking raw water at a shrine." Readers said that this is the most down-to-earth and practical reason.
