Arpeggio of Blue Steel Manga, Takao-bu Spinoff Go on Hiatus Due to Artist's Broken Leg

Ark Performance launched the Arpeggio of Blue Steel manga in Shonengahosha’s Young King Ours magazine in 2009.

Kōichi Ishikawa, the storywriter and “No. 2” (Ni-gō) of the manga creator duo Ark Performance, confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday that the duo’s ongoing manga Arpeggio of Blue Steel (Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio), and the recently launched Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Kaiyō Gijutsu Sōgō Gakuin Takao-bu (Arpeggio of Blue Steel: National Maritime Institute of Technology Takao Club) spinoff manga will go on an indefinite hiatus.

The official X/Twitter account of the Arpeggio of Blue Steel manga will post any updates on both manga’s return.
