posted on by Karen Ressler
Manga artist Kohske announced on Thursday that they will "probably" resume the manga Gangsta. in the next issue of Shinchosha's Monthly Comic @Bunch on March 21. The latest chapter of the manga (chapter 54) debuted in September 2018.
The manga also went on hiatus in November 2015 due to Kohske's health, but it resumed in May 2017.
Kohske launched the manga in Shinchosha's Monthly Comic @Bunch magazine in 2010. (The magazine changed its name to simply Monthly Comic @Bunch in March 2018.) Shinchosha published the eighth compiled volume in May 2018.
The manga revolves around Nick and Worick, two men who take on jobs from both the mafia and the police in the town of Ergastulum, a rotten town filled with mafia, hoodlums, prostitutes, and dirty cops.
Viz Media publishes the manga in North America. Viz has also licensed Syuhei Kamo's Gangsta: Cursed spinoff manga, which ended in February 2018.
A 12-episode anime adaptation of the manga premiered in July 2015. Funimation streamed the series as it aired with English subtitles, along with an English broadcast dub.
