As the employees are “absolutely essential” to the work on the manga, both Saito Production and Big Comic chose to prioritize their safety.
The magazine’s 10th issue will confirm the announcement on Saturday and announce the manga’s return at a later date.
The story inspired two live-action films in 1973 and 1977, a 1983 anime film, a 1998 Golgo 13: Queen Bee original video anime, and a 2008-2009 television anime series.
The manga, centering on the titular legendary hitman, is the oldest manga still in publication.
