The official blog of manga creator duo Akira Himekawa revealed on Thursday that their The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess manga will return on February 26. Himekawa's message noted that they are preparing for the manga's return on Shogakukan's Manga ONE app.
Manga ONE revealed in October that the manga would take a break but return on January 22. Himekawa's comment at that time stated that the duo are taking the hiatus to compose the story for the finale, and to "recharge" themselves and recover their health.
Himekawa launched the Twilight Princess manga in Manga ONE in February 2016, where it serializes every other week. Twilight Princess marks the pair's return to drawing The Legend of Zelda manga after an eight-year hiatus. Shogakukan published the series' fourth compiled book volume on December 27.
Viz Media licensed the manga and released its second volume on August 8. The third volume will ship in North America on March 13.
Himekawa serialized The Legend of Zelda manga series from 1998 to 2008. The duo drew a prologue to The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword game in 2011.
Viz Media also published Himekawa's The Legend Of Zelda: Legendary Edition, which is a new series of two-in-one releases of the pair's The Legend of Zelda manga. Each of the five omnibus volumes contain two volumes of the original series with new covers, colored artwork, and a larger printing format. Viz Media previously published all 10 volumes in the series in singular volumes.
