Will Kenka Kagyo (喧嘩稼業) Be Canceled or Axed? Reasons Explained

Will Kenka Kagyo be canceled or axed in the future? Some readers are concerned about the series due to several ongoing issues.

In this article, we break down the main factors that could affect Kenka Kagyo’s future.

Was Kenka Kagyo Canceled or Axed? Reasons Explained

Kenka Kagyo has been serialized irregularly in Weekly Young Magazine since 2014 and has not been canceled.

 

“Kenka Kagyo” is a sequel to “Kenka Shoubai.” It began serialization in *Weekly Young Magazine* with Issue 28 of 2005 and concluded its first part with Issue 40 of 2010.

After a long hiatus, Part 2 began in the combined Issue 2/3 of *Weekly Young Magazine* in 2014 and has been serialized irregularly under the title *Kenka Kagyo*.

 

Additionally, in 2024, author Yasuaki Kita hinted on X at his intention to resume the series and bring it to a conclusion, and starting in 2025, he will begin publishing *Kenka Kagyo Special Edition* online.

 

On hiatus for over four years

“Kenka Kagyo” has been on hiatus for over four years since Chapter 103, which was published in Young Magazine in February 2020. Since the author even joked about not drawing it in a recent update, readers may assume the series has been canceled.

The hiatus has gone on for so long that it seems even the author has forgotten the story himself.

In particular, given his 2022 post stating, “I’m sure I drew more than 20 pages, but there are only 3,” it doesn’t look like the writing is progressing properly.

 

Judging by posts like these, while there hasn’t been an official announcement of cancellation, it’s perhaps only natural that many readers consider the series effectively unfinished.

Even if there’s still a slim chance of a revival, it would be nothing short of a miracle for the story to reach its conclusion after such a long hiatus.

Because it keeps getting put on hiatus for no apparent reason

Yasuaki Kita, the author of *Kenka Kagyo*, has continued to put the series on hiatus on X for reasons that are unclear, and it seems people may have finally given up on it.

As mentioned above, he has said that his motivation has waned due to the pandemic and other factors, causing him to put his pen down. Since he’s a gag manga artist, one might assume this is just a joke or a running gag, but in reality, the series has been on hiatus for over four years.

 

On top of that, he’s been obsessed with video games and has made comments suggesting he feels pressured by seeing other manga series resume publication. This has led people to question whether he even intends to continue the series, and it seems the cancellation has even become a running joke itself.

However, judging from his comments so far, it seems he may be shifting toward a “I’ll draw when I feel like it” approach.

While it’s not impossible that he’ll resume drawing at some point in the future, getting your hopes up too high is likely to lead to disappointment.

Speculation About a Hiatus Due to Illness

Yasuaki Kita, the author of “Kenka Kagyo,” has been posting on X about feeling unwell, so perhaps it wasn’t actually a joke—he may have been unable to write due to illness.

While the author has touched on topics such as medical treatment since the early days of his first serialized work, *Makuhari*, given the prolonged hiatus, we cannot rule out the possibility that this is not just a plot device but that he is genuinely unwell.

 

Judging by his posts about a persistent cough and general malaise, it seems likely that his health has had at least some impact on his writing.

 

That said, since he has not explicitly stated that his poor health is the reason for the hiatus, the true cause remains unclear.

Because “canceled” appeared in the search suggestions

When you search on Google or Yahoo!, several suggested search terms appear at the same time. However, when searching for “Kenka Kagyo,” the term “canceled” was displayed, which may have led to a misunderstanding.

 

Since “Kenka Kagyo” is a manga where being canceled has become a running gag, it seems many people, worried that it might actually have been canceled, searched for “Kenka Kagyo canceled.”

 

As a result, when they searched for “Kenka Kagyo,” “canceled” appeared, leading them to mistakenly think, “Was it canceled?”

It seems they then got caught in a loop where, worried that it might have been canceled, they searched for “Kenka Kagyo canceled,” only to have “canceled” keep appearing.

Is “Kenka Kagyo” being canceled? When will it resume?

Regarding *Kenka Kagyo*, author Yasuaki Kita suddenly announced that he was feeling motivated again and would resume the serialization within 2025; he also declared in *Young Magazine* that the series would resume “within the year.”

 

However, since readers have been constantly led on by Yasushi Kita up to this point—and have been “trained” as a result—it seems that many of them don’t believe him, and because the time period isn’t specified, they’re viewing the story with skepticism.

In fact, since Mr. Kida has hinted at “resuming the series” only to go silent for long periods on numerous occasions in the past, many fans are likely skeptical this time around, wondering, “Will the series really resume?”

 

Furthermore, although Young Magazine announced a “resumption by the end of the year,” they did not specify a concrete date, leading to concerns that “they might just publish a single chapter right at the end of December and then go on hiatus again.”

 

Mr. Kida’s own statement—that “the reason I lost motivation is a very personal one”—also conveys a sense of instability, as it’s unclear when his mood might change. As a result, readers seem to be watching the situation cautiously, even as they hold out hope.

Final Thoughts on Kenka Kagyo

In conclusion, Kenka Kagyo has not been canceled, and its future remains uncertain.

Overall, several factors discussed above may affect how the series develops.

 

After more than four years of hiatuses, many readers have become so used to the uncertainty surrounding the series that even reports of a 2025 return have been met with skepticism.

However, Kenka Kagyo is best followed with cautious optimism, treating any future return as a welcome bonus. In the meantime, revisiting the series may help readers refresh their memory of the story and its many details.

 

It may still be worth checking out for yourself.
