Was Yakuza Fiancé Canceled or Axed? Reasons Explained
Yakuza Fiancé is currently on a long hiatus, but it has not been canceled.
“Yakuza Fiancé” has been serialized in *Afternoon* since the October 2017 issue.
It is a popular series that won first place in the “Next Manga Awards 2018” in the manga book category, and as of October 2023, its cumulative circulation has exceeded 2.8 million copies.
The anime aired from October 7 to December 23, 2024.
Anxiety caused by a long hiatus
Since “Yakuza Fiancé” has been on hiatus for an extended period without any explanation, there seems to be concern that it might be canceled.
来世は他人がいいは諸事情によりしばらく休載となります。体調不良などではありません。再開時期は未定ですが再開する際にまたお知らせ致します。

来世は他人がいいはもしかしたら連載しなくなるかもしれんな。作者さんあんな感じになってしもてるし…打ち切りで終わりにはして欲しくない

More than a year has passed since the series went on hiatus, and fans are growing increasingly anxious, saying they see “no signs of a return.”
Since Asuka Konishi has only stated that the hiatus is due to “various circumstances” without revealing any details, speculation and anxiety continue to spread on social media.
Furthermore, the prolonged hiatus could cause readers to lose interest as they grow impatient waiting for the story to progress.
Allegations of trouble stemming from the anime adaptation
“Yakuza Fiancé” has been adapted into an anime, but it is said that this adaptation caused a dispute between the original author and the anime staff.
「来世は他人がいい」ってアニメスタッフと原作者の間にトラブルが起こってるらしいけど、わたしはこの原作者の「春の呪い」という漫画が好きなので…なんか残念…

This controversy is believed to have stemmed from the anime’s script and direction deviating significantly from the original author’s intentions, and it is highly likely that the two parties clashed over their differing views.
In particular, dissatisfaction is spreading among fans because the anime failed to adequately reflect the original work’s unique worldview and character designs.
Furthermore, the fact that Asuka Konishi has not made any public statements regarding the anime adaptation suggests that the conflict is serious, and anxiety is growing among fans.
It appears that speculation, fueled by the lack of transparency surrounding the situation, has led to concerns about the series being canceled and uncertainty regarding its future direction.

Issues with the animation production system
“Yakuza Fiancé” has been on hiatus before due to issues with the art team, so it’s possible that it’s currently on an extended hiatus because the art team hasn’t been able to get organized.
発売中のアフタヌーンに来世は他人がいい載っています。
申し訳ないのですが、引き続き作画体制が整っておらず、来月は休載致します。再来月二ヶ月分載る形になりますのでよろしくお願い致します。

It is said that, having made his commercial debut shortly after he began drawing, the workload associated with his artwork was particularly heavy.
Maintaining his distinctive style—characterized by intricate backgrounds and emotional expression—requires a significant amount of time and manpower, and it appears that the current setup is unable to fully accommodate these demands.
Problems Arising from the Anime Adaptation
It is reported that the anime adaptation of “Yakuza Fiancé” has been put on hold for an extended period due to a dispute between the original author and the anime staff.
来世は他人がいい、連載が約1年ストップしてるんだけどそれがアニメ化関連のトラブルって聞いてお前…の気持ちになってる セクシー田中さんの件といいそんなふうになるなら映像化しなくていいよ

来世は他人がいいハマって見てたけどアニメ化が原因のトラブルで休載してるの知って複雑な気分。
— sato (@pugdogskates) February 12, 2025
One factor behind this dispute is said to be the deepening conflict between Mr. Konishi and the staff, stemming from the anime’s script and direction deviating from the original work’s intent.
In particular, the anime’s failure to adequately capture the original work’s unique humor and psychological depictions may have made it difficult for both parties to reach a consensus, potentially triggering the hiatus.
Furthermore, the original author, Asuka Konishi, has not issued any comments regarding the anime adaptation and remains silent on the matter.
In the absence of an official explanation, the actual situation remains unclear, and it is advisable to observe the situation calmly.
