Well, it's true that the Lagoon Company spend a lot of time on a boat.

Yeah that's true, but Lagoon's hiatus is nothing compared to how much Berserk goes on them.

Not surprised, considering Hiroe's past comments (He's said he only wants to work on Black Lagoon when he thinks he has a story worth telling with the characters). But hopefully this means there is now enough material for another season's worth of an anime adaptation.

Has the Manga finished its current arc yet? i am hoping for another OVA. The extended version of In This Corner of the World has been completed, so Sunao Katabuchi must be currently free.

I honestly keep forgetting that Black Lagoon isn't an anime original or that the manga is still running. It just feels like one of those series left behind in the dust of the 2010s anime/manga scene.

The series has really just been spinning it's wheels since the end of the Roberta's Blood Trail arc. It feels like Rei has no idea how to proceed with the story or characters ( Still on this current arc for about a decade now).

@MarshalBanana

The end of chapter 100 proclaims chapter 101 will conclude Feng's arc.
Whether that means "The Wired Red Card" arc as a whole or just Feng's part....who knows,The Shadow probably at this point.


(Feng is a major character in "The Wired Red Card" arc)

"Berserk" and "HunterxHunter" have literally nothing next to "Bastard!!" lol

Hagiwara still is and will always be the actual hiatus GOD.

Oh lord i wish i didn't get these boat and hiatus references.
Dammit Kentaro stop playing idolmaster and work on your damn manuscript! Laughing
Also i didn't even realize Rei Hiroe went off of hiatus, doesn't matter now i suppose.

On an unrelated note how do these authors even eat if they're not producing work?
Part time jobs? Other full time jobs? Support from family?

"Rei Hiroe's Black Lagoon manga is going on hiatus so that the author can work on a compiled book volume." -- From the article

Dunno why people are acting as if he's going to be chilling out and doing nothing.
