posted on by Alex Mateo
Itaru Bonnoki's The Vampire Dies in No Time (Kyūketsuki Sugu Shinu) manga went on hiatus in this year's 43rd issue of Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion last Wednesday due to the author's sudden illness. The manga returned from hiatus in the magazine's 44th issue on Thursday.
The manga had gone on a 1-month hiatus in April.
The gag manga centers on Dralc, a vampire who is feared as he is rumored to be invincible. The vampire hunter Ronaldo goes to Dralc's castle after hearing that Dralc has kidnapped a child. But when Ronaldo arrives at the castle, he finds that Dralc keeps dying over every small thing and turning to dust. Dralc's true nature is that of the weakest vampire of them all.
Manga creator Bonnoki launched the manga in Weekly Shōnen Champion in June 2015. The manga's 18th compiled book volume shipped in Japan on September 8.
The manga is inspiring a television anime that will premiere in Japan on October 4. Funimation will stream the anime as it airs in Japan.
