CATDOLL: The author of the comic "Delicious Challenge" will resume serialization in the near future

The original author of the manga "Delicious Challenge", Tetsu Kagaya, announced on Twitter that he will resume serializing the work in the near future! Previously, it was suspended due to the author's poor health.

The work tells the story of the father and son's constant pursuit of the realm of food, from high-end restaurants to roadside stalls. It began serialization in Shogakukan's "Big Comic Spirits" in 1983, with more than 111 volumes of single volumes and total sales exceeding 100 million copies. The TV animation and the Japanese drama version of Toshiaki Karasawa were both very popular. The content published in the 2014 22nd and 23rd combined issues was targeted by the relevant departments because it involved the content of the Fukushima earthquake disaster, and it was stopped in May 2014. Blogs are the main way for Kariya to reveal his current situation to the outside world. Last year, because he did not update his blog for 10 months, fans suspected that he had "disappeared from the face of the earth". Later, he clarified that he fell at the end of October and fractured his right lower leg and needed to rest quietly. He also went to the Nagoya lecture on December 8th with crutches and a wheelchair.

In addition, the author Tetsu Kagaya said on his blog that he fell again and caught a cold from the end of 2015 to the beginning of 2016. He experienced nearly three months of pain, and had no energy to update his blog or speak normally. "Delicious Challenge" has been on hiatus for a long time. It is not something he can do alone to resume serialization, and the hiatus has nothing to do with the "nosebleed problem". But this work has been serialized for 30 years, which is too long. It's time to end it. He hopes to let all the characters gather together to taste the food and create a lively happy ending. The magazine needs to make an announcement for details.
