Triage X Manga Artist Plans to End Series at 21st Volume

Artist Shōji Satō said in an interview that media news website Natalie published last week that he plans to end the Triage X manga at around its 21st volume.

Yen Press licensed the manga, and it describes the story:

Mochizuki General Hospital boasts some of the most well-trained (and well-endowed) nurses in town. But though these ladies spend much of their day battling disease, their after-hours are spent fighting a very different sort of sickness... Under the leadership of the hospital chairman, a handful of staff members and local teenagers form a group of mercenary assassins, targeting the "cancers" of society and excising those individuals before their wickedness spreads.

Sato launched the manga in Kadokawa's Monthly Dragon Age magazine in 2009, and Kadokawa published the 18th compiled volume on December 7. Yen Press released the 16th volume on October 30. The manga inspired a television anime series in 2015. Crunchyroll and Daisuki both streamed the series. Sentai Filmworks licensed the anime and released it on Blu-ray Disc and DVD in January 2017.

Sato also drew the art for Highschool of the Dead, another manga that inspired an anime.
