Hanazawa explained that the themes of the manga were "at a very high difficulty level" for who he is now, which left him discouraged from continuing the series.

Wonder what happened for him writing such? Considering his previous works, for example I am a Hero(22 volumes), those can't been that easy either, and the one mentioned sort of even shares many themes with this one. If it's a health issue, the list of options go into some very dark territory for such a statement Confused ...

Wow, I hadn't even heard of this one. I had no idea he had started a series in between Hero and Ninja.

I mean, I am a Hero went to some pretty dark places at times, while what I've seen of Under Ninja seems pretty absurdist/black comedy. He probably began suffering some mental burnout from writing darker themes, and stopped this middle series after predicting that it was going to do more harm to him than good.
