The Case Study of Vanitas Manga Gets New Chapter in July
posted on by Joanna Cayanan
The manga went on a two-month hiatus in May 2024. The manga then extended its hiatus until July that same year, but has not published a new chapter since the initial hiatus announcement in May 2024.
The manga previously went on hiatus in June 2022, and resumed in May 2023.
Yen Press has been publishing the manga simultaneously in English since its debut, and it describes the first volume:
Rumors revolving around The Book of Vanitas, a clockwork grimoire of dubious reputation, draw Noé, a young vampire in search of a friend's salvation, to Paris. What awaits him in the City of Flowers, however, is not long hours treading the pavement or rifling through dusty bookshops in search of the tome. Instead, his quarry comes to him...in the arms of a man claiming to be a vampire doctor! Thrust into a conflict that threatens the peace between humans and vampires, will Noé cast in his lot with the curious and slightly unbalanced Vanitas and his quest to save vampirekind?
Mochizuki (Pandora Hearts, Crimson-Shell) launched the manga in Gangan Joker in December 2015. Square Enix published the 11th volume in April 2024.
BONES' television anime of the manga premiered in July 2021. The anime's second part premiered in January 2022. Funimation streamed the first part, and it also streamed an English dub. Both Funimation and Crunchyroll streamed the second part as it aired, and Crunchyroll also added the first part.
