The manga series Dogsred, penned by Satoru Noda, has experienced several hiatuses, including at least one confirmed month-long break. These pauses in serialization are primarily attributed to the author’s health, specifically chronic bicep tendonitis.
In September 2023, Dogsred went on a one-week hiatus because of Noda’s worsening bicep tendonitis. At that time, Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump magazine, where the manga is serialized, announced that Noda would be taking additional breaks in the future to manage his chronic condition and maintain the quality of his work.
Further reports, including discussions on online forums, indicated a more extended break. A Reddit comment from April 2024 explicitly stated that Dogsred would be on hiatus for a month due to Noda-sensei’s illness. This suggests a significant pause in the manga’s release schedule during that period. While specific details for all breaks are not consistently available, the recurring reason cited is the author’s need to address his health.
Dogsred is a relaunch of Noda’s earlier ice hockey manga, Supinamarada!, and began serialization in Weekly Young Jump in July 2023. The commitment to maintaining the manga’s quality while managing the author’s health appears to be a key factor in these intermittent breaks.
