The manga adaptation of “Formerly, the Fallen Daughter of the Duke” has entered another period of hiatus, extending a pattern of intermittent releases that has characterized its serialization. While no specific, recent official announcement detailing the precise reasons for the current halt has been widely publicized, community discussions and past trends suggest that the author’s health may be a contributing factor to the irregular publication schedule.
A History of Paused Releases
Fans of the popular otome isekai series have become accustomed to a somewhat sporadic release schedule for the manga. Records indicate previous significant gaps, such as one instance where Chapter 64 was published in September 2022, followed by Chapter 65 in November 2023. This “on and off hiatus” pattern has led to speculation among readers regarding the manga’s long-term consistency.
Understanding Manga Hiatuses
Manga hiatuses are not uncommon in the industry and can stem from various reasons, including the mangaka’s health, personal issues, creative blocks, or even production challenges. For “Formerly, the Fallen Daughter of the Duke,” the prevailing sentiment among readers points towards the health of the manga author as the primary reason for the extended breaks.
It is also noted within the manga community that lengthy waits between chapters do not automatically signify a series has been “axed” or permanently dropped. Often, release cycles can slow down as a series catches up to its original Japanese publication, or simply due to the demanding nature of manga production.
