Raiku is best known for his Zatch Bell (Konjiki no Gash Bell!!) manga series, which he launched in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine in 2001, and ended in 2007.
This year’s 16th issue of Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine published the final chapter of Makoto Raiku’s Vector Ball on Wednesday.
The manga was not polling well, and his editor proposed a new story development, but Raiku found it too unpleasant to write.
Raiku stopped working with Shogakukan after settling a lawsuit with the publisher regarding five color art pieces by Raiku that the publisher had lost.
